1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place your pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges for a decorative touch.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.
3. Stir in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
4. Pour the walnut mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. You’ll know it’s done when the center just barely jiggles when gently shaken.
6. Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully, creating a rich, cohesive taste.

Remember, patience is key. Much like the best stories, this pie takes time to unfold its full flavor, so resist the urge to cut into it too soon!
