It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

- #9904
This pie crust is made with phyllo dough, so it's super easy and quick to make. Plus, it's almost fat free so you can enjoy your pie without all the guilt.
serves/makes:
ready in:
30-60 minutes
30-60 minutes
ingredients
4 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin or apple pie spice, allspice or cinnamon
4 sheets phyllo dough
directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Spray 9" pie pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Make your pie filling and set aside.
To make crust, combine sugar with spice in a cup and set aside. Stack phyllo sheets, then cut in half to make 8 sheets. Cover with tea towel until ready to use. Place one sheet of phyllo on the pie pan spray with nonstick cooking spray and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp of sugar mixture. Repeat steps with remaining phyllo sheets, fanning them evenly until the entire pie pan rim is covered. Pour pie filling into shell and trim excess dough. To prevent crust edges from burning, cover loosely with aluminum foil. Bake for 15 minutes at 425 degrees F. Then reduce temp to 350 degrees F (or the temperature your pie recipe calls for) and bake for necessary time.
