(HealthNewsDigest.com) – The Holidays in my house aren’t complete without a Pecan Pie on the menu. It is honestly one of my very favorite recipes, as I have been known to sliver and eat half a pie in one sitting! I couldn’t decide which pie to include in my annual Thanksgiving menu so I had to give you ALL of them, and why not sneak a few healthier recipes using my trim and terrific version? I promise your family won’t be able to tell a difference because there’s no sacrifice in flavor. You don’t have to change what you make, just change how you prepare it-even with Pecan Pie!
Pecan Pie with Honey Pecan Crunch Topping: Indulge by adding this fabulous topping to your store bought pecan (or favorite) pie, and you’ll earn bragging rights for years to come.
- Last minute gourmet! It is never too late to include this incredible topping, as it is added in the last five minutes of baking.
- This is one of my favorite tips – save time by picking up your favorite pie, add the Honey Crunch Topping, and it will look and taste homemade!
- Watch me make the topping here!
Yam Pecan Pie in Ginger Snap Crust – Ever have a hard time trying to decide between pecan pie or sweet potato pie? Well, now you can have them both in one delectable dessert!
- Place gingersnaps in food processor or blender to process into fine crumbs.
- If recipe calls for canned sweet potatoes, fresh cooked sweet potatoes may be used.
- 1 (15-ounce) can sweet potatoes (yams) drained and mashed=1 cup.
- Can always use any pie crust for extra ease!
Oatmeal Pecan Pie – Oatmeal is a delicious addition to this crave-able Fall pie.
- Did you know that pecans contain the highest amount of antioxidants than any other nut? Pecans are packed with Vitamin E, which can help prevent cell damage.
- Terrific Tip: When a refrigerated pie crust is called for, I prefer the type you unfold and place in a pie plate. I always keep one in the refrigerator to pull out for a “pie on demand.”
- These pies are perfect make-ahead desserts – just whip up and freeze for less stress before the holidays!
Chocolate Pecan Pie – a twist on the classic, rich chocolate is combined with delicious pecan pie for the ultimate finish to your holiday meal.
- Simple to make with a store bought crust, you can easily whip up this dessert.
- Dig in guiltlessly, as pecans are rich in nutrition – antioxidants, fiber, vitamins, minerals and a great source of plant protein.
