Helpful hints

Substitute one 9" prepared graham cracker pie crust instead of the spring form pan and homemade graham cracker crust.
To reduce fat and cholesterol content substitute 1/2 cup low cholesterol egg product for 2 whole eggs.
Be sure to use canned pumpkin, not pumpkin pie mix.
Portions are small due to calorie, fat and sodium content.
Top each piece of pie with whipped topping before serving if desired.
