Creating a lighter version of the pie crust for this sweet, gooey dessert paved the way for a pecan pie packed with flavor but less fat.

Ingredients

8 sheet(s) phyllo dough   
4 spray(s) cooking spray, or enough to coat dough   
3/4 halves pecan halves, chopped lengthwise into 3 pieces each   
  4 large egg white(s), lightly beaten   
1/3 cup(s) light corn syrup   
2/3 cup(s) unpacked brown sugar, firmly packed   
6 Tbsp reduced-calorie margarine, melted   

Instructions

  • 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.

Chef Tips

  • We renovated Pecan Pie by:
    • Cutting the nuts into smaller pieces (so you can cover a greater area with a lesser amount).

    • Replacing a butter-laden crust with layers of light, flaky phyllo dough.

    • Swapping butter for reduced-calorie margarine.

    • Using egg whites instead of the whole egg.

This was a hit at my thanksgiving! No one missed the pie crust, for Christmas eve I'm making this again and I'm going to make a pumpkin pie with phyllo dough! Great idea! Also I used brown rice syrup instead of corn syrup, it's a healthier alternative to corn syrup, and no one knew the difference. I did follow one other persons suggestion which was to keep it in the oven for 60 min, I think the extra time helped brown the phyllo evenly.

I'm not sure what the confusion is on the pecans, it clearly says 3/4(28g) so since I have to weigh everything just weigh out 28 grams of pecans ... Very good!

This pie is excellent. I would recommend the pie get baked with the filling for at least 60 minutes to really get firm otherwise it is still kind of runny in the center and this does not make the crust any darker. I would also reduce the pre-bake time to no more then 5-7 minutes if you want the crust to look like the picture. Also make sure you have room above the rack it is place on as the phyllo dough will puff up while cooking and will settle again once it is cooled.
