Unfortunately its the pastry thats the synful bit. 
There are loads of recipes for SW pie but they usually involve replacing the pastry with a potato/swede topping or using a really thin bit of pastry on top and synning it (a bit off puff pastry on top only, or some scrunched up filo or something).
Theres no way around pastry, its just extortionate in syns so if you want *proper* pie youre better off saving up some syns and having a small portion or something. All the pie innards can be made virtually syn free, its just the damn pastry
