    List of Ingredients




    For Crust:

    1 cup all-purpose flour

    2 tablespoons sugar

    1/8 teaspoon salt

    1/4 cup chilled butter or stick margarine, cut into small pieces

    3 1/2 tablespoons ice water

    Cooking spray


    For Filling:

    1/2 cup sugar

    1/3 cup maple syrup

    1 teaspoon ground ginger

    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

    1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

    2 large eggs

    1 cup evaporated fat-free milk

    1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin

    Recipe



    TO PREPARE CRUST: Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine the flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, and salt in a bowl; cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle surface with ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time; toss with a fork until moist and crumbly (do not form a ball).


    Press mixture gently into a 4-inch circle on heavy-duty plastic wrap; cover with additional plastic wrap. Roll dough, still covered, to a 12-inch circle. Freeze 10 minutes or until plastic wrap can be easily removed.


    Remove 1 sheet of plastic wrap; fit dough into a 9-inch pie plate coated with cooking spray. Remove top sheet of plastic wrap. Fold edges under; flute. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.


    TO PREPARE FILLING: Beat 1/2 cup sugar and next 5 ingredients (1/2 cup sugar through eggs) at medium speed of a mixer until well-blended. Add milk and pumpkin; beat well. Pour into prepared crust. Bake at 425 degrees F for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (do not remove pie from oven); bake an additional 50 minutes or until set. Cool on a wire rack.


    Serving size: 1 wedge
