Ingredients

Pastry for single-crust pie (9 inches)

2 eggs, lightly beaten

1-1/2 cups fresh or canned pumpkin

1 cup reduced-fat evaporated milk

1/3 cup packed brown sugar

1/3 cup maple syrup

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup fat-free whipped topping

11 Diamond of California® Pecan Halves

Ground cinnamon, optional

Preparation

Line a 9-in. pie plate with pastry; trim and flute edges. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, pumpkin, milk, brown sugar, syrup, flour, pie spice and salt until blended. Pour into pastry. Bake at 425° for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°; bake 30-35 minutes longer or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cover edges with foil during the last 30 minutes to prevent overbrowning if necessary. Cool on a wire rack. Top pie with whipped topping and pecans; sprinkle with cinnamon if desired. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 8 servings.
