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.
4 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin or apple pie spice, allspice or cinnamon
4 sheets phyllo dough
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.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

It should work for any pie that calls for a pastry crust.
