Battle of the Pies!
MOTHER VS. DAUGHTER!
I love my mom's peach crumble pie recipe, but one slice is 475 calories! My challenge was to create a lower calorie "knock-off". Watch the video to find out what happened...
So which pie are you going to make? Mine? or my mom's??? Post a photo of it in your instagram stories and tag me @DrSaraSolomon so I can see it
Mom's Pie Ingredients
Pastry:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup shortening
2 tbsp butter
3 tbsp cold water
Filling:
5 cups thinly sliced peaches (peel them)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp (pinch) salt
Topping:
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup quick cooking oats
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1.5 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup cold butter
Mom's Recipe
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F
Pastry:
In a bowl, combine flour and salt; mix well.
With a pastry blender (or 2 knives), cut in shortening and butter until it looks like course crumbs. Sprinkle with water and mix to make a soft dough.
Gather dough into a ball and put in the fridge for 30 minutes. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to fit a 9" pie plate (watch the video).
Filling:
In a large bowl, combine peaches, vanilla extract, sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt. Toss gently until well mixed. Spoon filling into pie shell and set aside.
Topping:
In a bowl, combine sugar, oats, flour, and cinnamon and mix well.
Use 2 knives (watch the video) to cut in butter until the mixture is crumbly and butter is evenly distributed.
Sprinkle topping over peach mixture
Bake at 425 for 15 minutes, then reduce heat and bake at 375 for 30-35 minutes or until topping is golden and peaches are tender.
Makes 8 servings

I've been an intermittent faster and a flexible dieter since 2012. I put together an entire system (an e-Book) that shows you how to make it work for your schedule, goals and eating personality. I call it the Fat Loss Fast System. It's a maintainable approach to eating that prioritizes how you FEEL (I help you ditch the fixation with following diet rules) and that's the secret to long-term success!
