Lightened Pecan Pie

TOTAL TIME:1 hr 45 min

This rich, delicious pecan pie uses dates and rum extract to get the classic taste without as much butter and sugar. We also used a whole wheat crust to boost the nutrition. So instead of a 500-calorie slice of pie, you can enjoy a 250-calorie slice. Gve it a try...your friends and family won’t be able to tell the difference!

          Directions
          1. Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl.
          2. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until crumbly.
          3. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and combine with a fork until the mixture can form a ball.
          4. Lightly flour some plastic wrap, then place the dough on top. Flatten out dough. Cover with plastic wrap, then place in the fridge for 20 minutes.
          5. While the dough is chilling, preheat oven to 400°F.
          6. Remove dough from fridge. Roll out on a floured surface to ⅛ thickness.
          7. Place dough in a 9-inch pie pan, then trim the edges.
          8. Bake on a baking sheet for twenty minutes until dough sets.
          9. While the crust is baking, make the filling.
          10. In a food processor place the dates, brown sugar, salt, rum extract, vanilla, and beaten eggs.
          11. Once the dates have turned into a paste, transfer them to a medium bowl.
          12. Stir in the chopped pecans.
          13. Spread out the filling evenly in the pie dish.
          14. Bake for 40–45 minutes. If edges start to get dark, cover with aluminum foil.
          15. Cool, then slice into 16 slices.
