1 15-ounce canpumpkin
1/3 cupmaple-flavored syrup
1 tablespoonall-purpose flour
2 packetsheat-stable sugar substitute
1-1/2 teaspoonspumpkin pie spice
3/4 cuprefrigerated or frozen egg product, thawed
1 cupevaporated fat-free milk
1-1/2 teaspoonsvanilla
Frozen light whipped dessert topping, thawed (optional)
Ground cinnamon (optional)

Directions
1. Prepare Lower-Fat Oil Pastry. On a lightly floured surface flatten pastry. Roll into a 12-inch circle. Wrap pastry circle around the rolling pin; unroll into a 9-inch pie plate. Ease pastry into pan, being careful not to stretch pastry. Trim to 1/2 inch beyond edge of pie plate. Fold under extra pastry. Crimp the edge as desired. Do not prick pastry.

2. For the filling, in a medium bowl combine the pumpkin, maple-flavored syrup, flour, sugar substitute, and pumpkin pie spice; add egg product. Beat lightly with a rotary beater or fork until just combined. Gradually stir in evaporated milk and vanilla; mix well.

3. Place pastry-lined pie plate on oven rack. Carefully pour filling into pastry shell. To prevent overbrowning, cover edge of pie with foil. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil. Bake 20 to 25 minutes more or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Cover and refrigerate within 2 hours. If desired, top with dessert topping and sprinkle with ground cinnamon. Makes 8 servings.
