Lots of things going on in the world, and your pie-maker has lots of things to say about them. So, to fortify his voice, he concocted the Voice-Enhancing Chocolate Walnut Pie.
Make one double-crust quantity of Louis Pipper's Oil Crust, but use the whole thing for the bottom. Roll it out into a 9.5" deep dish pie plate and prebake at 425F for 10min.
While the crust is pre-cooking, combine:
3/4 Cup light corn syrup
1/2 Cup dark brown sugar
3T butter, cut into small bits
in a small pot (I use a 1qt pot for this). Once the butter is melted, scatter:
2/3 Cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
over the mixture, let sit for a couple minutes to start melting the chocolate, then stir to mix thoroughly. When the pie shell is done, reset the oven to 350F.
In a large mixing bowl combine:
3 eggs
a pinch of salt
and measure, but reserve:
2 overfull cups of untoasted walnuts.
Whisk the eggs until they are just frothy, then pour the sugar/chocolate mix and walnuts in. Stir together just enough to coat the walnuts evenly, and pour the mix into the pie shell. Place in the oven and bake up to 40min or until the center puffs up and the edges solidify.
This pie has also proven to be an effective enhancement for singing voices if eaten with breakfast.
