Time 30m

Yield 1 crust

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons promise fat-free margarine
2 tablespoons cold water
3/4 teaspoon morton lite salt, but recomended (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 475°F.
  • Mix together all of the ingredients. Stir with a fork until thoroughly mixed. Do not over-work the dough.
  • Shape this mixture into a ball and place it between two pieces of wax paper that have been dusted with flour. Roll the pastry into a circle large enough to fit in a 9-inch pie pan.
  • Spray pan with a non-fat cooking spray and Arrange crust in pan. Cut off the edges that hang over.
  • Prick the bottom with a fork and brush over with a little bit of beaten egg white. Bake 10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool before adding filling.
  • It's probably a good idea to prebake it before using it in almost any recipe.
  • Note: If you are making a pie where the filling needs to be cooked with the shell, simply bake at 350°F for 45 minutes or however long the recipe calls for. Work foil over edges while baking so the crust won't get overbrown. Remove foil for the last five minutes.

Time 13m

Yield 1 9inch crust, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 cup Grape-nuts cereal
1/4 cup apple juice concentrate (undiluted)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F/180 deg C.
  • Mix together the Grape Nuts and apple juice concentrate.
  • Pat into a thin layer on the bottom and sides of a 9ö pie pan.
  • Don't worry if there are some gaps.
  • Bake for 8 minutes.
  • Cool before filling.

Tips:

  • Use cold ingredients: This will help prevent the gluten in the flour from forming, which can make the crust tough.
  • Work quickly: The less you handle the dough, the less gluten will form and the flakier your crust will be.
  • Chill the dough before rolling it out: This will make it easier to work with and less likely to stick to your rolling pin.
  • Roll the dough out evenly: A dough that is too thick will be difficult to bake through, while a dough that is too thin will be prone to tearing.
  • Trim the edges of the dough: This will help prevent the crust from shrinking during baking.
  • Bake the crust until it is golden brown: This will ensure that it is cooked through and crispy.

Conclusion:

These fat-free pie crust recipes are a great way to enjoy your favorite pies without the guilt. Made with simple, healthy ingredients, these crusts are flaky, delicious, and perfect for any occasion. So next time you're in the mood for a pie, give one of these recipes a try.
