INGREDIENTS:healthy-pumpkin-pie
1 recipe “Oil Pastry” (below)
1 (15 oz) can pumpkin
Splenda granular, equivalent to 1/3 cup sugar
2 tbsp honey
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 cup refrigerated or frozen egg product, thawed
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup canned evaporated skim milk
Frozen light whipped dessert topping, thawed (optional)
Additional ground cinnamon or ground nutmeg (optional)
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 375 F.
2. Prepare Oil Pastry. On a well floured surface, use your hands to slightly flatten the pastry dough. Roll dough from center to edge into a circle about 12″ in diameter. To transfer pastry, wrap it around the rolling pin. Unroll pastry onto a 9″ pie plate. Ease pastry into pie plate, being careful not to stretch pastry. Trim to 1/2″ beyond edge of pie plate. Fold under extra pastry. Flute or crimp edge as desired. Do not prick pastry.
3. In a medium size bowl combine pumpkin, sugar, honey, the 1 teaspoon cinnamon, the ginger and the 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg. Add in egg and vanilla. Beat lightly with a fork just until combined. Gradually stir in evaporated milk. Pour pumpkin mixture into prepared pastry shell.
4. To prevent overbrowning, cover edge of the pie with foil. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes more or until filling appears set (edges of filling may crack slightly).
5. Cool completely on a wire rack. Cover and refrigerate within 2 hours. If desired, serve with dessert topping and sprinkle with additional cinnamon and/or nutmeg.
