Here's one of my favorite pies to make during the holidays! The crust is simple and easy to make, as is the pie itself.

Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon butter, melted
2 to 3 tablespoons cold water

FILLING:
1 egg
1 egg white
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon each ground allspice, nutmeg and cloves
1 can (15 ounces) solid-pack pumpkin
1 cup fat-free evaporated milk

Directions
In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugar and salt. Using a fork, stir in oil and butter until dough is crumbly. Gradually add enough water until dough holds together. Roll out between sheets of plastic wrap into an 11-in. circle. Freeze for 10 minutes. Remove top sheet of plastic wrap; invert pastry into a 9-in. pie plate. Remove remaining plastic wrap. Trim and flute edges. Chill. Roll pastry scraps to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with a 1-in. leaf-shaped cookie cutter. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 375° for 6-8 minutes or until edges are very lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack. In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg, egg white, sugars, salt and spices until smooth. Beat in pumpkin. Gradually beat in milk. Pour into pastry shell. Bake at 375° for 45-50 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Garnish with leaf cutouts. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 8 servings.

Aye! My wife makes wonderful, wonderful desserts (from scratch) but she isn't a huge fan of pumpkin or pecan pies. So, I finally decided if I was ever going to get one, I'd just have to make it myself.

oh, something fun to try with desserts and whip cream... (no, get your head out of the gutter...)

2 cu of whipped cream mixed with a 'dash' of your favorite liquer can add a LOT to a dessert!

Grand Manier, Rum/Bourbon, Irish Cream,etc
