Blend above with pastry blender. Pat firmly into a square pan. Place sliced peaches, fresh or canned on top.
Sprinkle with a mixture of:
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
Bake in a 8 1/2" x 8 1/2" pan at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Meantime, beat 2 egg yolks and stir into 1 cup cream or hmg. milk. Pour over top and bake 30 minutes longer.
*Note As to the the peaches, use one can of drained sliced peaches; if fresh, use as many slices of peaches as needed, eg: enough to cover the crust. If using canned peaches I prefer the Elberta peaches with light syrup if you can find them.

Here is a simple dessert that is low in calories and very yummy!

Remove from bundt pan by dipping in a sink of warm water for around 30 seconds. Put on a cake plate. Return to refrigerator for 1 hour and then frost with Cool Whip.
AMISH BROWN SUGAR PIE
Contributor: Ken
- Unbaked 8" pie shell
- 1 Cup brown sugar
- 3 Tbs. all purpose flour
- speck of salt
- 1 12 oz. can evaporated milk
- 2 1/2 Tbs. butter
- ground cinnamon
Sugar milk pies were called Miliche Flitche, or "Poor Man's Pie",
because of the simplicity of their ingredients.
Preheat oven to 350. In the pie shell, place brown sugar, flour, and salt. Mix with your fingers. Pour the evaporated milk over the flour and sugar, but do not stir or mix this in. dot with butter, and drift with cinnamon liberally over all. Bake for 50 minutes, or until the filling just bubbles up in the middle. The filling will never completely set, but that's the way it is suppose to be. This pie is better eaten at room temperature. If you refrigerate leftovers, reheat them in the oven before serving.
Note: Recipe can be doubled and prepared in a 10" pie shell. For that size, bake 1 hour and 20 minutes.

LOW FAT BANANA SPLIT PIE
Contributor: Kristie Dossett
- 1 box of Snackwells Graham Cracker Stars. (They only come w/ Cinnamon sugar)
- 1 pkg butterbuds
- ½ gallon non-fat frozen vanilla yogurt (If you live next to a Braum's, their's is the best)
- 2-3 banana's
- Fat free whip cream
- Fat free chocolate fudge topping (not Hersey's chocolate syrup, definitely fudge topping)
- Maraschino cherries
Using an 8 inch pie pan, process the stars until they make fine crumbs. Mix the butterbuds following package directions. Pour a small amount of butterbuds into the cracker mixture. Add more if needed. Press into pan. Let yogurt stand at room temperature until just around the sides of the yogurt are thawed. I usually
use my kitchen aide and mix up the yogurt until it's creamy. Slice the banana's and place around the bottom of the pie, pour the yogurt on top. Place in freezer until ready to serve. To be completely frozen again keep in the freezer for at least 6 hours. Better yet, I always make it the day before I need it. When ready to serve set it out for about five minutes. Cut and
serve with whipped cream, fudge topping and cherries.
Wow!!! It will knock your socks off. The Cinnamon from the Graham Cracker Stars adds just a little extra taste. NOTE: Sometimes I use my springform pan. I don't put the graham cracker mixture up the sides just on the bottom. And I use a little more frozen yogurt.
