Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup crunchy breakfast cereal (I used Kroger Honey Crisp Medley without Almonds)
  • 12 cup sugar
  • 12 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 12 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 14 cup natural applesauce
  • 2 tablespoons margarine, melted
  • 1 egg white
  • 12 ounces evaporated skim milk
  • 1 12 cups solid-pack pumpkin
  • 23 cup sugar
  • 12 cup chunky applesauce
  • 13 cup molasses (I didn't have molasses so used a combination of honey and Agave nector)
  • 1 egg
  • 12 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 12 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 12 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • frozen whipped topping

Method

  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • Spray a 9 or 10 inch springform pan with cooking spray - I used a 10 inch square aluminum pan that I tore the sides to get the tart out.
  • Make the crust - Mix the bread crumbs, cereal (I crunched this up some first), the sugar and seasonings from the crust list.
  • Add the apple sauce, margarine and egg white and mix until moistened.
  • Press this into the bottom of the pan.
  • Make the filling - Warm the evaporated milk over medium heat until milk Almost boils, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and scorching.
  • In a large bowl combine the pumpkin, remaining sugar, spices, applesauce, molasses, egg whites, whole egg.
  • Add the milk, mix well and pour into crust.
  • Carefully place into oven and increase oven temp to 400.
  • Bake 35 to 40 minutes until set - I use the toothpick method.
  • Cool about 20 minutes or more before slicing.
  • Top with whipped topping.
