Walnut Pie

Pie.

Walnut Pie.

Walnuts,
No flour, and...

 Ritz crackers!

What???

Yes, made with Ritz crackers and no flour at all.

How does that work?

No clue!  But it sure does taste good.

Try it.

Trust us.

It really is delicious.

First you beat 3 egg whites until stiff.

 Gradually add in sugar.

And vanilla.

 

Oops, 

We forgot the gradual part of

"gradually add the sugar and vanilla."

Too busy taking pictures of 

the sugar and forgot to stop adding.

Well, we now know it turns out ok

if you put all the sugar in at once.

 

Looks like this when all of 

the sugar and vanilla is "gradually" added.

Now what you don't normally expect in a pie.

 Ritz crackers

 The easiest way we have found to crush them 

is to just put them in a baggie 

and roll something heavy over them.

Until crushed.

 Mix the crackers and walnuts 

together with the melted butter.

Then slowly add in the egg white,

sugar, and vanilla mixture.

 Next pour this into a greased pie plate.

No crust.

Nothing else.

Just this.

Close up.

Bake for about 30 minutes in a 350 degree oven

and you get this.

Amazing, right?

Chill for about 1 1/2 hours.

Then top with Cool Whip 

or real whipped cream. 

There you have it.
