Pumpkin Pie for Everyone!
The Thanksgiving Tradition
INGREDIENTSPastry
1 ½ cup All purpose flour
¼ tsp Salt
½ cup Cooking oil
3 tbs Fat-free milk
FILLING
1 can Pumpkin (15 oz)
1/3 cup Sugar (or equivalent substitute)
2 tbs Honey
1 tsp Ground cinnamon
¼ tsp Ground ginger
¼ tsp Ground nutmeg
2 Eggs OR ½ cup refrigerated or frozen egg product
1 tsp Vanilla
¾ Evaporated fat-free milk
Frozen light topping if desiredMake the Pastry: Stir flour salt in medium bowl. Add oil and milk. Stir lightly until you can form a ball
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
On a well-floured surface use your hands to begin to flatten the dough. Roll from the center to the edges until you have a 12 inch circle of dough.
Wrap the circle around the rolling pin to transfer to the pie pan. Unroll your dough into a 9 inch pie pan. Ease it into the pan – don’t stretch it!
Trim the edges to ½ inch beyond the pie plate. Fold your extra dough under the edge. Crimp the edges. Do not prick!
Line the pastry with aluminum foil. Bake for 8 minutes. Remove the foil and bake 5 minutes more. Cool the pastry on a wire rack while you prepare the filling.
Reduce oven to 375 degrees F

Make the Filling: combine pumpkin, sugar, honey, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg in a bowl Add egg and vanilla. Beat lightly with a fork until just combined. Gradually stir in the evaporated milk.
POUR filling into the baked pastry shell. Cover the edges of the shell with aluminum foil to prevent burning. Bake until filling appears “set” (about 40-45 minutes). The edges may crack a little bit.
COOL completely on wire rack. Refrigerate within 2 hours
