List of Ingredients
Pumpkin Pie Bars
2 cups pumpkin (in a can)
1/2 cup egg whites (or egg substitute)
3/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce
1/2 cup evaporated fat-free milk (I use reduced-fat)
1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
1 box spice cake mix
3/4 to 1 cup flour*
2/3 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Topping/Crust:
Melt the butter, add 1/4 spice cake mix, flour*, sugar and walnuts. It will become a crumbly consistency. Take about 1/2 of the mixture and layer the bottom of a greased 9"x13" pan. Press down with hands to make it packed. Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes until golden brown.
Filling:
Mix together pumpkin, egg whites, apple sauce, evaporated milk, pumpkin pie spice and all but 1/4 of the spice cake mix (the remainder is for the crust/topping). Mix well for two minutes, then pour on top of the baked crust.
Recipe
Topping:
Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture over the top of the cake batter in the pan.
Bake:
Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 60 minutes (I did about 50 minutes because it stays more moist). Cool and cut into squares.
Cook's Notes
*When adding the flour, gradually add -- you may not need to use as much because of the spice cake mix.
