Description:

Can you have a pie crust that's whole wheat and fat-free? Yes, yes you can. This pie crust, however, works best only as the bottom layer. I don't recommend using it as the top cover for the pie also. Instead, use this crumb topping.

Tips and recipes from various sources that I've put together to make a healthier pie :)

Looking for a way to have my cake and eat it to, or in this case pie. May not be the healthiest out there but am only using a top crust and have cut some of the sugar out. You could probably cut the sugar down to half a cup, if you like the tart flavor. I'm not a fan of it and was afraid that without strawberries that this pie would be tart and was pleasantly surprised, it's not tart at all!
Next time I make pie crust, I am going to start cutting back the butter to see how it turn out, that is really where all the calories and fat lay.

Basic recipe that can be doubled for a covered pie or used as a single crust pie with a generous lattice this recipe makes a single 9 inch pie crust.

Great crust for savory pies and quiches.

Perfect for the veggie pot-pie! Not really a dessert crust unless you add a bit of sugar.

When comfort food is a must!

A homemade pie crust

Homemade chicken pot pie with whole wheat crust. Serve smaller portions with steamed veggies or a salad on the side, or use larger portions.

I cut this into 12 servings because I have a family of 6, but you could change it to 8 or 10 for larger servings (see adjustments below recipe instructions).
