• Ready In: 1hr 15mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 3 ounces cinnamon graham crackers, reduced fat
• 1 tablespoon light brown sugar, packed
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 2 large egg whites
• 1 large egg
• 1⁄2 cup dark brown sugar
• 1⁄4 teaspoon table salt
• 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
• 1 cup canned pumpkin
• 1⁄2 cup fat-free evaporated milk
• 1⁄4 cup light whipped topping

directions

1. * Position rack in middle of oven. Preheat oven to 350ºF.
2. * Place graham crackers and light brown sugar in a food processor; process into crumbs (or smash into crumbs in a sealed plastic food bag with a rolling pin). Spoon crumbs into a small bowl; add melted butter and combine with fingers into a coarse meal. Distribute crumbs evenly on bottom and up sides of an ungreased 9-inch pie plate. Chill for 30 minutes before baking. Bake until crust starts to turn golden, about 8 to 10 minutes; remove from oven and let cool.
3. * Meanwhile, in a large bowl, using an electric mixer, whip egg whites until frothy; fold in egg, dark brown sugar, salt, pumpkin pie spice, canned pumpkin and evaporated milk. Beat pumpkin custard until smooth and pour into pie shell. Bake until a knife inserted in center comes out clean, about 45 to 55 minutes. Slice into 8 pieces, top each piece with 1/2 tablespoon of whipped topping and serve warm or at room temperature. Yields 1 slice per serving.

I made this pie to accompany our Thanksgiving dinner this year. It was DELICIOUS! I'm not really big on pie myself and made it in a wierd looking 9 inch cake pan. Overall it seemed to make the crust a little thicker and thus making the pie taste even better in my opinion. I used the full 2 tsp. of pumpkin pie spice. Delish! I'm making this again for our Christmas dinner. It's a keeper!
