I'd really like to make this pie for thanksgiving.
I am concerned it has too much butter(I plan to use smart balance light) and whole eggs(can I use egg whites). I will omit pecans. My stomach cannot handle fat over 25%.

Ingredients
Butter, For Greasing
2 cups (heaping) Cranberries
3/4 cups Pecans, Chopped (measure, Then Chop)
2/3 cups Sugar
1 cup Flour
1 cup Sugar
1 stick Unsalted Butter, melted
2 whole Eggs, Lightly Beaten
1 teaspoon Pure Almond Extract
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1 Tablespoon Sugar For Sprinkling
Preparation Instructions
*Adapted from a recipe by Laurie Colwin*
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Generously butter a cake pan or pie pan. Add cranberries to the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle on chopped pecans, then sprinkle on 2/3 cup sugar.
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, 1 cup sugar, melted butter, eggs, almond extract, and salt. Stir gently to combine.
Pour batter slowly over the top in large "ribbons" in order to evenly cover the surface. Spread gently if necessary.
Bake for 45 to 50 minutes. 5 minutes before removing from oven, sprinkle surface with 1 tablespoon sugar for a little extra crunch.

The cranberries might be a problem too. The skins have a lot of insoluble fiber. If you remove the cranberries and pecans you don't have much left 
BTW - the link to the recipe is broken. Here is the right here

I wasn't going to use Pecans, only cranberries (which worked fine for me) or apples.
Anyway I can reduce the butter to a safe amount and still have the pastry top be in tact? That is really the only big thing.

You could do 4Tablespoons of oil and 4 Tablespoons of applesauce. Here's an article. web page
Also, if you finely crush some of the pecans, you could use some of them...like 1/4 cup or so, depending on your tolerance.

Can you eat peeled and unpeeled apples with no problem?

baked apples should be safe. Much more tolerable. Cooking make the sugar content easier to digest.

Yes. So if I use apples, the only things I need to know are how to scale the butter back (or substitute it) so the amount is safe and the pastry is in tact and if I can use Egg Whites or have to use Fake Eggs.

I just posted how you can substitute the butter. And just use 4 egg whites instead of the 2 eggs.

Thanks. I want to use smart balance light, I can handle it, just not that amount.
So what can I do to keep butter, not oil, but at a safe amount?
Also, if you finely crush some of the pecans, you could use some of them...like 1/4 cup or so, depending on your tolerance.

Thanks, but I actually am fine and prefer Smart Balance Light Butter, just not that much (one stick).
So instead of using oil, what amount of butter would be safe and what can I sub with?
Use .5 stick of Smart Balance+.5 cup Applesauce?

Oil and butter are pretty interchangeable. So just use .5 stick ( 4 Tablespoons)of your smart balance light butter, but use only 4 Tablespoons of applesauce, which is only 1/4 cup.
