LIGHT PECAN PIE WW



Light Pecan Pie WW image

A fantastic lighter version of the family favorite for half the Points Plus! I had a little trouble layering my phyllo dough they way they described because mine was rectangles, not squares. I also used 2 egg whites and 1 whole egg, just make sure the filling would be 'thick'.

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 sheets phyllo dough
cooking spray
3/4 cup halves unsalted pecan halves, chopped
4 large eggs, white(s) lightly beaten
1/3 cup light corn syrup
2/3 cup unpacked brown sugar, firmly packed
6 tablespoons light butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 9-inch round baking pan with cooking spray.
  • Cut phyllo sheets in half diagonally to form 2 equal-size triangles. Place 1 sheet in prepared pan, lightly coat with cooking spray, and top with another sheet of phyllo, placing corners just to the right of previous corners. Repeat with remaining sheets, so you're covering the pan with a fan of phyllo. Bake until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 325°F. Combine remaining ingredients in a medium bowl; pour into crust. Bake, uncovered, about 35 minutes or until firm. Cover halfway through baking process if crust becomes too brown. Cool in pan.

LIGHTER CLASSIC PECAN PIE



Lighter Classic Pecan Pie image

Another recipe to add to my pecan pie collection... This comes from Cooking Light (November 1999), and it looks like the main modifications are in the crust, which is described as more biscuit-like, rather than the typical flaky pastry crust.

LIGHT PECAN PIE



Light Pecan Pie image

I have adapted this recipe to my own personal tastes. My sis and I love pecan pies so we knew we needed to make a "healthier" version so at least we would feel a tad better eating it. I love how it is not too sweet like most P.Ps and has a thicker layer of filling. The molasses gives it a wonderful flavor is a lovely, lighter Pecan Pie! For an even healthier addition, you have to try it with my light tart crust recipe!

Categories     Tarts

Time 1h3m

Yield 1 pie, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons Splenda brown sugar blend
1 tablespoon molasses
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 -1 1/4 cup pecans, chopped in small pieces (*I like using 1 cup in order to have more filling)

Steps:

  • FILLING.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F (If you want your filling to have toasted pecans, make sure to toast them first at 350°F for around 9 minutes).
  • Mix the all the ingredients together (make sure to press out any clumps) and stir in cooled pecans. Pour into selected pie shell. The pecans will rise to the surface of the pie.
  • ***I brush the sides of the crust w/ some of the filling mixture and leave little puddles along the bottom to get it crisp and tasty edges**.
  • **Note** I bake my own tart shell in a springform pan, remove it and then place it on a baking sheet w/ edges, lined w/ parchment paper. I then fill it with the pie filling.
  • Bake at 375°F for 30 minutes or until the filling has set depending on your oven. About 18 minutes into the cooking you may want to use a pie crust protector, or tent the edges of the pie crust with aluminum foil to prevent the pie crust edges from burning.
  • Remove from oven and let cool completely.

DECADENT PECAN PIE (LIGHTER RECIPE)



Decadent Pecan Pie (lighter recipe) image

A holiday without a gooey, pecan-studded pie is unthinkable! This light pecan pie holds back a bit so when dessert is ready to be served, you won't have to think twice about diving into this pie. (Not that you should, you're celebrating after all!) Still, this lighter recipe includes oats and egg whites in the filling, which cuts down on calories for those who are counting. The result is a beautiful golden-brown pie brimming with a luscious, caramel-y filling. You won't even be able to taste the difference!

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon shortening
2 to 3 tablespoons cold water
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup margarine, melted
1 cup corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
4 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup quick-cooking or old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • In medium bowl, mix flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost cleans side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary).
  • Gather pastry into a ball. Shape into flattened round on lightly floured surface. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate about 45 minutes or until dough is firm and cold, yet pliable. This allows the shortening to become slightly firm, which helps make the baked pastry more flaky. If refrigerated longer, let pastry soften slightly before rolling.
  • Heat oven to 375°F. With floured rolling pin, roll pastry into round 2 inches larger than upside-down 9-inch glass pie plate. Fold pastry into fourths; place in pie plate. Unfold and ease into plate, pressing firmly against bottom and side. Trim overhanging edge of pastry 1 inch from rim of pie plate. Fold and roll pastry under, even with plate; flute as desired.
  • In medium bowl, beat sugar, margarine, corn syrup, 1/2 teaspoon salt, the egg and egg whites with wire whisk or hand beater until well blended. Stir in oats and pecans. Pour into pastry-lined pie plate.
  • Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until center is set. Cool completely.
