Allergen note
Deep dish pie crust often contains wheat and potentially dairy or egg; introduce separately and watch for reactions to these common allergens.
How to serve
For toddlers over 1, serve a small, soft wedge (1-2 tbsp) of filling with a bit of crust, mashed together to avoid choking. Always ensure the pie filling is cool, unsweetened, and allergen-safe.
Preparation
For a safe, soft texture, pre-bake a whole-wheat crust thoroughly and finely crumble it over a fruit puree, avoiding any hard, flaky pieces to prevent choking.
Texture and choking risk
Deep dish crust is dense and can be a choking hazard; always soften it by serving small, thin, well-cooked pieces mixed with the soft filling, and supervise closely during meals.
Starting ages are typical guidance for healthy, full-term babies who show signs of readiness. Your paediatrician may advise differently, especially where there is a family history of allergy.
Track first tastes and reactions
Log when your child first tries deep dish pie crust, note any reaction and see it in the allergen tracker.
