I know what you are thinking...how can wheat pie crust taste good at all. Trust me, it is really good and most people would never even know the difference unless you tell them. Remember, I try to provide recipes that are healthier for you and your family. Thanksgiving is a day to be thankful and enjoy delicious food, but that doesn't mean it has to be loaded with unhealthy fats, calories, and junk. This crust is perfect for several different recipes. I use it to make homemade pot pie and I use it for all of our homemade fruit pies. I am using this recipe to make a sugar free apple pie for Thanksgiving because one of my guests is diabetic. I know she is going to love it.
Healthy Homemade Wheat Pie Crust
Serves 1 pie crust (double the recipe if you need a double crust)
Adapted from: http://www.superhealthykids.com/piecrust.html
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons lite salt
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup skim milk
Directions:
-In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and stir together until the dough forms a ball. It is best to mix with your hands to make sure it combines thoroughly.
-Roll out the dough ball between two pieces of wax paper. You want it about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick.
-Pull the top of the wax paper off and use the bottom piece to carry the dough to your pie plate.
-Make sure to spray nonstick cooking spray in your pie plate before putting the crust in it.
-Fill your pie crust with whatever pie you are making.
Enjoy! :)
