Instructions for making Homemade Weight Watchers Peach Pie (Step by Step)

First, make the pie crust.

  1. Mix the three ingredients together, gently combining them with your hands until a dough forms. Knead the dough inside the bowl until there are no longer any crumbs. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

2. Preheat oven to 375°F.

3. Separate the dough into two equal sections. With one portion, use a rolling pin to roll it flat between two pieces of parchment paper. You’ll want it to be rather thin because it puffs up, and it needs to fit across the circumference of the 9-inch pie plate.

4. Lift the top parchment piece off of the dough and then flip the dough upside down into the greased 9-inch pie dish.

5. 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. Put a fresh piece of parchment down in the dough and fill it with preferred pie weights. Bake for ten minutes with the weights, then remove the weights and bake for 5-10 minutes longer until the surface of the dough is set. This prevents the juices from making it soggy!

7. While the first dough portion bakes, make the peach filling by first mixing the sweetener, cornstarch, and spices together. Toss the peaches with the dry ingredients and add lemon juice. If using canned peaches, make sure to drain them first.

8. Prepare the other portion for the top crust. You can either make a lattice design or cover the entire top with the dough (make a slit for airflow.)

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.

10. Bake the pie for 35 minutes. At this point, the edges might be dark. Cover the rim with foil to prevent it from burning, and return to the oven for another 25-30 minutes or until thoroughly baked. You might need to cover the entire pie with foil for the last 10 minutes to prevent it from over-browning. When done, the filling will be thicker and bubbly, not watery. The top crust will be golden brown.

11. For best results, let the pie cool before serving.

Variations and Substitutions

  • Peach Pie with Crumb Topping:  Some people prefer a cinnamon streusel or other crumb topping for their peach pies! If doing so, you can cut the pie crust recipe in half since you will only need it for the bottom portion.
  • Peach Pie with Graham Cracker Crust: Instead, you can make a graham cracker crust with crushed graham crackers and butter or a butter substitute. For this type of pie, you can leave it open-faced or sprinkle a crumb topping over the peaches.
  • Sweetener vs. Sugar: This recipe works best with zero-calorie sweeteners because they help keep the Weight Watchers points low. However, if you want to use granulated sugar, you certainly can! It will increase each slice to 9 points.
  • Frozen Peaches: You can also use frozen peaches for this recipe but you will need to completely thaw and drain them first so that it doesn’t make the pie filling watery.
  • Peach Pie with Tapioca or Flour:  tapioca starch and all purpose flour are also common thickeners that people use in pies. If you use tapioca flour/starch or flour in place of the cornstarch, you will need twice the amount.

Tips and Tricks for Making the Best Weight Watchers Peach Pie

  • I assure you that if you par-bake the crust and then bake the pie for over an hour, the crust will not be underbaked, even if it looks a little soft on the part that touches the filling. The peach juices will soften it, which is why the par-baking step is so important. When you take the right steps, it won’t be soggy or underbaked.
  • For best results, wait two hours after baking to slice into the pie. The filling will set as it cools. If you serve it too early, it might be runny in the center.
  • Make sure to roll the dough thinly. It isn’t a typical pie dough, and it will want to puff up a lot. Also, if you have extra scraps after trimming the edges, you can make a border with them like I did!
  • For pie weights, you can use dried beans, rice, or even granulated sugar! No matter what you use, make sure to put a piece of parchment paper over the dough before putting in the pie weights to create a barrier.
