Pumpkin-Maple Pie

It tastes like Grandmother's, but it's better for you. Our special lower-fat pastry is filled with a maple-flavored pumpkin mixture that is lower in calories and fat than old-fashioned recipes—but it is every bit as good.

SERVINGS: 8 servings
CARB GRAMS PER SERVING: 32

1     Recipe Lower-Fat Oil Pastry
1     15-ounce can pumpkin
1/3    Cup maple-flavored syrup
1     Tablespoon all-purpose flour
2     Packets heat-stable sugar substitute
1-1/2    Teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
3/4    Cup refrigerated or frozen egg product, thawed
1     Cup evaporated fat-free milk
1-1/2     Teaspoons vanilla
    Frozen light whipped dessert topping, thawed (optional)
    Ground cinnamon (optional)

    Ground nutmeg (optional)

1. Prepare Lower-Fat Oil Pastry. On a lightly floured surface flatten pastry. Roll into a 12-inch circle. Wrap pastry circle around the rolling pin; unroll into a 9-inch pie plate. Ease pastry into pan, being careful not to stretch pastry. Trim to 1/2 inch beyond edge of pie plate. Fold under extra pastry. Crimp the edge as desired. Do not prick pastry.

2. For the filling, in a medium bowl combine the pumpkin, maple-flavored syrup, flour, sugar substitute, and pumpkin pie spice; add egg product. Beat lightly with a rotary beater or fork until just combined. Gradually stir in evaporated milk and vanilla; mix well.

3. Place pastry-lined pie plate on oven rack. Carefully pour filling into pastry shell. To prevent overbrowning, cover edge of pie with foil. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil. Bake 20 to 25 minutes more or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Cover and refrigerate within 2 hours. If desired, top with dessert topping and sprinkle with ground cinnamon and nutmeg. Makes 8 servings.

Lower-Fat Oil Pastry: In a medium bowl stir together 11/4 cups all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Combine 1/4 cup fat-free milk and 3 tablespoons cooking oil; add all at once to flour mixture. Stir with a fork until dough forms. If necessary, add 1 to 2 teaspoons additional milk. Shape the dough into a ball.
