DECADENT PECAN PIE (LIGHTER RECIPE)
A holiday without a gooey, pecan-studded pie is unthinkable! This light pecan pie holds back a bit so when dessert is ready to be served, you won't have to think twice about diving into this pie. (Not that you should, you're celebrating after all!) Still, this lighter recipe includes oats and egg whites in the filling, which cuts down on calories for those who are counting. The result is a beautiful golden-brown pie brimming with a luscious, caramel-y filling. You won't even be able to taste the difference!

Steps:
- In medium bowl, mix flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost cleans side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary).
- Gather pastry into a ball. Shape into flattened round on lightly floured surface. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate about 45 minutes or until dough is firm and cold, yet pliable. This allows the shortening to become slightly firm, which helps make the baked pastry more flaky. If refrigerated longer, let pastry soften slightly before rolling.
- Heat oven to 375°F. With floured rolling pin, roll pastry into round 2 inches larger than upside-down 9-inch glass pie plate. Fold pastry into fourths; place in pie plate. Unfold and ease into plate, pressing firmly against bottom and side. Trim overhanging edge of pastry 1 inch from rim of pie plate. Fold and roll pastry under, even with plate; flute as desired.
- In medium bowl, beat sugar, margarine, corn syrup, 1/2 teaspoon salt, the egg and egg whites with wire whisk or hand beater until well blended. Stir in oats and pecans. Pour into pastry-lined pie plate.
- Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until center is set. Cool completely.

Steps:
- Add flour, sugar and salt in a small mixing bowl and mix thoroughly with a whisk. Transfer flour mixture to a food processor fitted with the dough blade. Add cubed cold butter to the flour mixture, pulse several times until butter is about pea and bean size. Variations in size are okay.
- Turn the food processor to "on" position and drizzle cold water over the dough mixture through the water hole, as soon as the dough starts to pull together turn the food processor off. You may need to stop the food processor in between and get a spatula to mix up the flour at the bottom.
- Turn the dough out on the counter or cutting board, and shape into a disk. Wrap in plastic and rest in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
- Take the disk of pie dough out of the fridge and roll into a circle about 2" larger than your pie dish. Use extra flour to keep the dough from sticking to the counter and roller.
- Carefully place the dough over the pie dish, lightly press the dough into the bottom and side of the pie dish, let the excess dough hang over the side. Trim the excess dough leaving just enough to fold under and create a fluted edge.
- Cover the pie dish with plastic wrap and keep refrigerated, or freeze (preferred), for 15 - 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Remove pie crust from the freezer and use a fork to poke steam vents on the bottom of the pie dough and on the sides.
- Place a large piece of parchment paper over the frozen pie dough, place pie weights on top or pour dry beans on top to fill the whole pie crust. Make sure the parchment is large enough to cover the edges of the crust entirely.
- Place the pie dish on a large baking sheet. Bake pie crust for 25 minutes with pie weights or beans, then carefully remove the parchment paper along with the pie weights and bake for another 5 minutes.
- Remove the pie crust from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool slightly. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F.
- Add cooled melted butter, eggs, light corn syrup, molasses, and vanilla extract to a medium mixing bowl and beat until smooth. Whisk together sugar, flour, salt and cinnamon in a small bowl and add it to the liquid mixture, beat again until completely incorporated.
- Add 2 cups of roughly chopped pecans to the slightly cooled pie crust, reserving about ½ cup of whole pecan halves to create a pattern on top.
- Pour the filling over the chopped pecans, allowing it to settle and fill all the spaces in between the pecans. Arrange the reserved pecans on the surface in a desired pattern.
- Place the pie dish on a baking sheet and cover the edge with a pie shield or thin strips of foil. Bake for 60 - 70 minutes until the middle is just slightly jiggly.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before serving.
