Mrs. Corbett’s Crustless Pumpkin Pie

Most crustless pies call for flour, but Mrs Corbett says it is not at all necessary. So, save those carbs and flour calories with this delightful pie, modified from this recipe. The nutrition facts were made at Calorie Count!

  2. I'm not a crust fan either, but I love most anything that comes with the crumbly or crisp topping! Think I'll try this along with the usuals this year!

  3. I just made this to test it out for Thanksgiving. It tastes delicious, like a pumpkin custard; however I have 2 comments about the directions. The "batter" that you pour into the pan is so liquidy that the topping disappeared into it instead of sitting on top like a topping should. Therefore, I'd recommend cooking it for awhile first until it starts to set, then sprinkling the topping on top so it doesn't fall into the batter. Secondly, it took much longer than 55 minutes in my oven, more like an hour and a half.
