Light Pecan Pie Ww Recipes

DECADENT PECAN PIE (LIGHTER RECIPE)

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.

• Whisk the corn syrup, brown sugar, salt, butter and vanilla in a medium bowl. Lightly beat the eggs in a small bowl, then whisk into the corn syrup mixture.

PECAN PIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Make the pie crust according to this pie crust recipe. You can also use store bought pie crust.
• Preheat oven to 425 F degrees
• If using your own homemade pie crust, remove the dough from the refrigerator, and let it sit at room temperature for up to 10 minutes. This is required to soften the dough a bit, so that you can roll it out.
• Roll out the disc using a rolling pin. If your dough is sticking to the surface or to the rolling pin add a bit more flour as necessary. Roll it until it's about 1/8 of an inch in thickness. Place the pie dough lightly into a pie plate. I usually roll it on the rolling pin and unroll it over the pie plate. (see video) Crimp the edge and cut off excess dough.
• Place a piece of parchment paper over the pie shell and fill it with pie weights. If you don't have pie weights, you can use dry beans. Place the pie shell into the oven and blind bake it for 15 minutes. Read more about blind baking here. Once done, remove the pie weights and the parchment paper from the pie shell.
• Reduce temperature to 350 F degrees.
• Make the pie filling. To a large bowl add the brown sugar, salt and flour and combine. Add the butter, eggs, vanilla, corn syrup and whisk or mix with a mixer until everything is well incorporated. Stir in the 1/2 cup of chopped pecans.
• Pour the pie filling over the pie crust then arrange the rest of the pecans over the top of the pie filling.
• Place in the oven and bake for about 50 to 55 minutes, until it puffs up and when you jiggle it there's no wiggle to it.
• Let the pie cool completely in order for the filling to set, before slicing into it.

LIGHT PECAN PIE WW

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 9-inch round baking pan with cooking spray.
• Cut phyllo sheets in half diagonally to form 2 equal-size triangles. Place 1 sheet in prepared pan, lightly coat with cooking spray, and top with another sheet of phyllo, placing corners just to the right of previous corners. Repeat with remaining sheets, so you're covering the pan with a fan of phyllo. Bake until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
• Reduce oven temperature to 325°F. Combine remaining ingredients in a medium bowl; pour into crust. Bake, uncovered, about 35 minutes or until firm. Cover halfway through baking process if crust becomes too brown. Cool in pan.

APPLE PECAN MUFFINS RECIPE

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the middle and preheat the oven to 400F degrees. Coat a standard 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray.
• In a small bowl mix together topping ingredients and set aside.
• Whisk together flours, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
• Whisk the sugar, oil, eggs, applesauce, vanilla, and buttermilk in a large bowl until well combined. Stir the flour mixture into the liquid mixture just until combined. Gently stir in apple chunks.
• Divide the batter equally among the muffin cups. (I like to use an OXO Good Grips Cookie Scoop ) Sprinkle with nut mixture.
• Bake until the muffins are lightly browned and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center, about 15-20 minutes.
• Cool the muffins in the pan for 10 minutes and remove them to a wire rack to cool completely or enjoy while still warm.

LIGHT PECAN PIE

Steps:

• FILLING.
• Preheat oven to 375°F (If you want your filling to have toasted pecans, make sure to toast them first at 350°F for around 9 minutes).
• Mix the all the ingredients together (make sure to press out any clumps) and stir in cooled pecans. Pour into selected pie shell. The pecans will rise to the surface of the pie.
• ***I brush the sides of the crust w/ some of the filling mixture and leave little puddles along the bottom to get it crisp and tasty edges**.
• **Note** I bake my own tart shell in a springform pan, remove it and then place it on a baking sheet w/ edges, lined w/ parchment paper. I then fill it with the pie filling.
• Bake at 375°F for 30 minutes or until the filling has set depending on your oven. About 18 minutes into the cooking you may want to use a pie crust protector, or tent the edges of the pie crust with aluminum foil to prevent the pie crust edges from burning.
• Remove from oven and let cool completely.
