Step 1

Move oven rack to lower third of oven and place a pizza stone or sheet pan on the rack. Preheat oven to 325°F.

Step 2

Roll pie dough out into a 12 inch circle and transfer to a 9-inch pie plate. Trim excess dough and crimp edges. Place in the fridge for 20-30 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, beat eggs with an electric mixer until foamy and then add in the vanilla.

Step 4

Add the flour, sugars, and salt and mix until combined. Beat in the butter.

Step 5

Stir in the chocolate chips and nuts and then spread into the unbaked pie shell.

Step 6

Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a knife comes out clean when inserted between the center and outside edge. (If desired, brush edges with egg wash 10 minutes before done.)

Step 7

Cool at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. When completely cool, cover with plastic wrap and store at room temperature for up to 4 days.
