Instructions for making Homemade Weight Watchers Peach Pie (Step by Step)
Indulge in the sweet, summery goodness of a Homemade Weight Watchers Peach Pie with these step-by-step instructions. Featuring juicy peaches enveloped in a light, flaky crust, this delicious and guilt-free dessert is perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth while staying on track with your health goals.
First, make the pie crust.
- Make Dough: Mix and knead the three ingredients until dough forms. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat to 375°F.
- Roll Dough: Divide dough in half. Roll one half thin between parchment sheets to fit a 9-inch pie plate.
- Lift the top parchment piece off of the dough and then flip the dough upside down into the greased 9-inch pie dish.
- Carefully peel away the parchment paper and work the dough as needed to fit the entire dish. Trim scraps away if needed.
Par-bake the crust
6. Blind Bake: Place parchment and pie weights on dough. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove weights and bake 5-10 minutes more until set.
7. Make Filling: Mix sweetener, cornstarch, and spices. Toss peaches with dry mix and lemon juice. Drain if using canned peaches.
8. Top Crust: Roll out remaining dough for top crust. Make a lattice or cover fully with slits for airflow.
Fill and Bake the Weight Watchers Peach Pie.
9. After the parbaked crust slightly cools, fill it with the peach filling. Place your preferred crust design on top and (optionally) egg wash it with a beaten egg.
Initial Bake and Foil Cover
10. Bake pie for 35 mins; cover rim with foil if edges darken, bake 25-30 mins more.
11. For best results, let the pie cool before serving.
Variations and Substitutions
Crumb Topping: Use a cinnamon streusel topping and halve the pie crust recipe, as you’ll only need a bottom crust.
Graham Cracker Crust: Make a crust with crushed graham crackers and butter. Leave the pie open-faced or add a crumb topping.
Sweetener vs. Sugar: Use zero-calorie sweeteners to keep Weight Watchers points low. Using granulated sugar will increase each slice to 9 points.
Frozen Peaches: Thaw and drain frozen peaches completely to avoid a watery filling.
Tapioca or Flour: Use twice the amount of tapioca starch or flour as a thickener instead of cornstarch.
Tips and Tricks for Making the Best Weight Watchers Peach Pie
Par-Bake the Crust: Par-baking ensures the crust won’t be underbaked. The peach juices soften the crust, so par-baking prevents sogginess.
Let it Set: Wait two hours after baking to slice the pie for a firm filling.
Roll the Dough Thin: The dough puffs up, so roll it thin. Use extra scraps to make a border.
Use Pie Weights: Dried beans, rice, or granulated sugar can be used as pie weights. Place parchment paper over the dough before adding weights.
