Vegetable oil spray
- Choosing a wine that complements the diverse flavors of a Thanksgiving meal can be a challenge. Use this guide to find the wine best suited for your meal and your taste buds.
1½ cups reduced-fat graham cracker crumbs
(about 24 squares)
3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 cup dark corn syrup
Egg substitute equivalent to 3 eggs
2 tablespoons bourbon or 1 teaspoon rum extract
1 tablespoon light stick margarine, melted
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup chopped pecans
The preparation
Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray 9-inch round pan with vegetable oil spray.
The crust
In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, orange juice and ground nutmeg with a fork or spoon.
Pour mixture into pie pan. Place a piece of plastic wrap over crumb mixture and press with your hands to spread mixture evenly over bottom and up sides of pie pan (plastic will prevent crumbs from sticking to your hands.) Discard plastic wrap.
The filling
In a medium bowl, combine light brown sugar, dark corn syrup, egg substitute, bourbon, margarine, orange zest and salt. Pour into pie shell; sprinkle with pecans. Cover edge of crust with aluminum foil to keep it from burning.
Place pie on a rimmed baking sheet; bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for 25 minutes, or until set (center doesn’t jiggle when gently shaken). Let pie cool on cooling rack for 1 hour before serving.
