You could try Olestra, but many people suffer gastric distress as a
result. Pie doughs by definition are flour, seasoning, fat, and
water. If your diet can't handle that amount of fat, perhaps you
could try a substitute for the pot pie dough. As an example, there
are lower-fat crescent rolls and biscuits that would make an excellent
top dough (bake the pot pie much like you would a cobbler). Other
than those ideas, I can't think of anything else.
