WEIGHT WATCHERS BASIC PIE CRUST (WW)
I found this in one of my Weight Watchers cookbooks. If using for a savory pie, omit the sugar. I've never tried it myself, but next time I make a pie I definitely will! NOTE: Prep time does not include chilling.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar and salt. With two knives (or pastry cutter), cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cottage cheese and yogurt just until the mixture forms a ball. Gather dough into ball; wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate several hours or overnight.
- On a floured surface, roll out dough to a 13" circle. Fit dough into a 9" pie plate, pressing to fit and rolling the dough over to form a rim. Refrigerate until chilled; prick the bottom with a fork.
- For a prebaked crust, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line the crust with foil; fill with dried beans, rice or pie weights. Bake until crust is set, about 10 minutes, remove foil and weights. Bake until golden, about 5-8 minutes longer. Cool on a rack.
BASIC 100% WHOLE WHEAT PIE CRUST
I generally try to eat as many whole grain foods as I can and I was astonished to discover not a single basic 100% whole wheat pie crust recipe here at Allrecipes. So here's mine! I previously had trouble with whole wheat pie crusts; they tended to be hard to work with and crumbly. Then I added wheat gluten, as I do for bread, and voila! This makes enough for one 8-inch pie. If you're making a recipe that requires a top and bottom crust, double the recipe.

Steps:
- Mix 3/4 cup flour, gluten, and salt together in a bowl. Cut shortening into flour mixture using a pastry blender until mixture is crumbly. Mix 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon water into the flour mixture using your hands until dough easily forms a ball; add more water if needed.
- Flatten dough into a pancake-like shape on a floured surface; sprinkle top of dough liberally with about 1 tablespoon flour. Roll dough, using a rolling pin, into a thin pie crust about 1-inch larger than your pie pan. Roll the crust onto the rolling pin and transfer to the pie pan.

My mom made this dessert for Thanksgiving the first year I was a Weight Watcher and it went better then the pecan or pumpking pies. 3 points per serving. Sorry, this recipe isn't core.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water.
- Stir in yogurt with wire whisk.
- Fold in whipped topping with wooden spoon.
- Spread in crust.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Tips:
- Use chilled butter: Cold butter is easier to work with and will help prevent the crust from becoming tough.
- Work quickly: The longer you work the dough, the more the gluten will develop and the tougher the crust will be.
- Don't overmix the dough: Just mix until the ingredients are combined and the dough starts to come together.
- Chill the dough before rolling it out: This will help the dough to be less sticky and easier to work with.
- Roll the dough out between two sheets of parchment paper: This will prevent the dough from sticking to your rolling pin and countertop.
- Trim the edges of the dough: This will help to create a clean, even crust.
- Bake the crust until it is golden brown: This will ensure that the crust is cooked through and crispy.
Conclusion:
This Weight Watchers Basic Pie Crust is a healthy and delicious way to enjoy your favorite pies and tarts. It is easy to make and can be used for both sweet and savory recipes. With its flaky texture and buttery flavor, this crust is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
