Low Fat Honey Wheat Pie Crust

"My husband loves pie, so tonight my son and I created this recipe which received two thumbs up from Dad. Wheat bran sneaks in fiber and iron and cuts down the calories. He is still not aware that it contains reduced fat mayo. Sssh."

  1. I used fat-free mayo and white whole-wheat flour, lowering the total fat in the whole crust to two grams. I had to use 6 tbsp of water to incorporate all of the dry ingredients, and convincing the result to be a 9" pie crust was a stretch. Next time, I'll increase the amounts by 25%. The part of the crust below the filling was fine, but the part above was uncuttable, probably because of the lack of fat, so I will leave less sticking out next time.
     
  2. This is a combo of my review and H2B's review: I liked the ease of the recipe but not the chewy/grainy texture. H2B enjoyed the crust stating that it was like eating a apple pie egg roll! So i'll make it again for him...or he can try it!
     
  3. I really love this crust! It is "chewy" but I'd rather have chewy than fatty!!!
     
  4. For what this recipe was, I was pleasantly suprised at the outcome. Like a previous poster said, any of the crust above the filling is basically inedible. The rest of the crust however is passable as a decent crust. I made pumpkin pie with this, and subbed maple syrup for the honey since I didn't have any.
     
  5. I made rasberry rolls with these and they were just as good as the ones I made with regular pie crust. The only problem I had was that the dough was a littel hard to roll out since it was kind of elastic-y, but it's probably because I overworked the dough. Other than that, this is a great low fat pie crust recipe. Thanks.
