Overnight Pecan Pie

This is definitely not your normal “Pecan Pie” with the gooey filling you would expect.  I would consider this Overnight Pecan Pie a lot healthier because of the egg-whites and graham cracker crumbs.  In addition, there is NO butter and NO corn syrup in the ingredients.  
If you want a quick and easy pecan pie where you do not have to make a crust, then this is the pie for you! There are only six ingredients in the entire pie, and the crust is naturally created as it is baked.  The egg-whites form the thin, yet hard crust on the top that cracks beautifully as you cut into it.  Top this pecan pie with a dollop of Cool Whip or Reddi-wip.  
My father-in-law loved this pie and ate it for breakfast four days in a row! 🙂  Enjoy!
