Pumpkin Pie

[RussianBlue]

I think I feel in love with Pumpkin Pie... :oops:

Do you have a recipe for a somewhat clean Pumpkie Pie?
I prefer the real crust over graham cracks and thought I could replace any butter/ fat with applesauce and sugar/ honey with Splenda or let that fall by the wayside.

I dont know a recipe, but just wanted to say that substituting apple sauce for the butter works GREAT! And SO much better for you!

Ingredients:
Crust
1.5 cup Oats (either quick oats, or old fashioned; crushed cereal such as Corn Flakes or Wheaties could also be used [4.5 cups cereal about = 1.5 cups crushed]; the oats have slightly less cal., more fat, more fiber, less carbs than the cereal)
4 Tb Frozen apple juice concentrate

Thank you!!!
Could you use oat bran instead of oldfashioned oats?
