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!

12. Stir in the chopped pecans.
