In the movie Fried Green Tomatoes , Mary Louise Parker and Mary Stuart Masterson cook up a laundry list of freshly baked pies like this classic Southern-style recipe. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups low-fat graham cracker crumbs (about 10 cracker sheets) |
3 tablespoons reduced-calorie stick margarine, melted |
2 tablespoons sugar |
cooking spray |
2/3 cup sugar |
1/3 cup cornstarch |
2 1/2 cups 2% reduced-fat milk |
2 large eggs, lightly beaten |
1 large egg yolk, lightly beaten |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
2 drops yellow food coloring |
2 1/2 cups sliced ripe banana, divided |
1 cup frozen reduced-calorie whipped topping, thawed |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325°.
2. Combine the first 3 ingredients in a medium bowl; toss with fork until moist. Press into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie plate coated with cooking spray. Bake at 325° for 10 minutes; let cool.
3. Combine 2/3 cup sugar and cornstarch in a medium saucepan. Gradually add milk, stirring with a whisk. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add hot milk mixture to eggs and egg yolk, stirring constantly with a whisk. Return milk mixture to pan; cook over medium heat until thick (about 4 minutes), stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla and food coloring.
4. Arrange 1 1/4 cups banana in bottom of prepared pie crust; pour half of custard over banana. Top with remaining banana and custard. Cover the surface of custard with plastic wrap; chill 4 hours. Remove plastic wrap; and spread whipped topping over pie.
