Ingredients
Lower-Fat Oil Pastry (see below)
15 oz. can of pumpkin
⅓ cup maple-flavored syrup
1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 packets heat-stable sugar substitute
1½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
¾ cup refrigerated or frozen egg product, thawed
1 cup evaporated fat-free milk
1½ teaspoons vanilla

Ground cinnamon (optional)
Lower-Fat Oil Pastry
1¼ cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup fat-free milk
3 Tablespoons cooking oil
In a medium bowl, stir together flour & salt. Combine milk and oil; add all at once to the flour mixture. Stir with a fork until the dough forms. If necessary, add 1-2 teaspoons of additional milk. Shape the dough into a ball.
Instructions
1. Prepare Lower-Fat Oil Pastry. On a lightly floured surface, flatten the pastry. Roll into a 12-inch circle. Wrap pastry circle around the rolling pin; unroll into a 9-inch pie plate. Ease pastry into the pan, being careful not to stretch the pastry. Trim to ½ inch beyond the edge of the pie plate. Fold under the extra pastry. Crimp the edge as desired. Do not prick the pastry.
2. For the filling, in a medium bowl, combine the pumpkin, maple-flavored syrup, flour, sugar substitute, and pumpkin pie spice; add egg product. Beat lightly with a rotary beater or fork until just combined. Gradually stir in evaporated milk and vanilla; mix well.
3. Place pastry-lined pie plate on oven rack. Carefully pour filling into pastry shell. To prevent overbrowning, cover the edge of the pie with foil. Bake in a 375° oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil. Bake 20 to 25 minutes more or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Cover and refrigerate within 2 hours. If desired, top with dessert topping and sprinkle with ground cinnamon.
