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!

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.

Categories     Chocolate     Nut     Dessert     Bake     Thanksgiving     Pecan     Fall     House & Garden     Kidney Friendly     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

Crust
1 tablespoon softened butter
3/4 cup finely chopped pecans
Filling
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate bits
1/2 cup coarsely broken pecans

Steps:

  • Butter an 8" pie tin with the softened butter and press in the chopped nuts.
  • Combine the syrup, eggs, salt and vanilla and beat well. Melt the chocolate bits over hot water and add them slowly to the syrup mixture, stirring constantly. Pour into the pie shell and sprinkle with coarsely broken pecans. Bake in a 350°F. oven for 25-30 minutes. Serve with vanilla-flavored whipped cream.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the pie will be. Use real butter, not margarine, and use good-quality chocolate.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make it tough. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Blind-bake the pie crust: Blind-baking the pie crust will help to prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Use a good quality chocolate: The chocolate is the key ingredient in this pie, so make sure to use a good quality one.
  • Don't overcook the pie: The pie is done when the center is just set. Overcooking it will make the pie dry and crumbly.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving: The pie needs to cool completely before serving so that the flavors can meld together.
