This is a deliciously gooey but low-fat dessert. Instead of a calorie-laden crust, all you need is store-bought phyllo dough sheets, which also helps cut down on your prep time. Simply arrange the phyllo sheets in the pan to form a fan-like shape, and bake in the oven until it's nicely browned. The filling also comes together in minutes and features pecans, egg whites, corn syrup, brown sugar, and melted margarine. Pour that mixture into the crust and continue to bake until the pie is firm. That's all there is to it to make this impressive-looking, showstopper of a pecan pie.
