You've read and posted on this group long enough to know that the major
focus here is clearly not on low-fat, low-cholesterol, zero trans fat,
sugar-free, low-carb, etc., etc. etc.

If you don't like recipes like the one that was posted, then don't make
them. Simple enough. I doubt that anyone is going to customize a recipe
for your personal taste. That's your job!

The recipe was for pie, for cripes sake! Pies are typically decadent in
one way or another and meant for sheer enjoyment, and unless you're a pig,
a moderate amount of a good pie won't affect you one way or another. That
is, unless one more gram of fat will put you in your coffin, in which case
there's very little you should be eating. Consider a feeding tube.
