A farewell to pies?

[Tin Pot]

Im looking for low saturated fat foods only, and as I’m browsing the “pie aisle” online, it’s not good reading.

Are there any low saturated fat pies out there?


It’s so cold it’s got to be pie weather!

Pie crusts need fat, and flaky/puff pastries need fat that is solid at room temperature (AKA saturated) but I have made a reasonable shortcrust using olive oil.

And you can certainly make a nice rapeseed/olive oil stew.

So you should be able to make a low saturated fat pie at home. Not aware of any commercially available, and there probably isn't, because the pastry wasn't nearly as good as a butter/marg/lard based one. There wouldn't be a huge market.

Sorry.

Edit: filo would be another way to make the crust http://www.healthyfood.co.uk/article/eight-pie-recipes-low-saturated-fats/
