Brown Sugar-Butternut Pie
- Crust:
- 22 gingersnaps (about 5.5 ounces)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter or stick margarine, melted
- Cooking spray
- Filling:
- 2 tablespoons water
- 3 cups cubed peeled butternut squash (about 1 small)
- 3/4 cup evaporated fat-free milk
- 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup frozen reduced-fat whipped topping, thawed
- Preheat oven to 375u0b0.
- To prepare the crust, place the cookies in a food processor, and process until finely ground (to yield about 1 cup). Add the granulated sugar and butter, and pulse 8 times or until combined. Press crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate coated with cooking spray. Bake at 375u0b0 for 6 minutes; cool on a wire rack.
- To prepare filling, place water and squash in a microwave-safe dish. Cover with wax paper; microwave at high 12 minutes or until very tender, stirring after 6 minutes. Drain and mash.
- Combine the squash and the next 8 ingredients (squash through eggs) in a medium saucepan. Cook mixture over medium heat until thick (about 8 minutes), stirring constantly with a whisk. Pour the mixture into the prepared crust. Bake at 375u0b0 for 20 minutes or until set; cool pie on a wire rack. Top each serving with 1 tablespoon whipped topping.
