I'm looking for a good recipe for a fried, fruit filled turnover. Something like what McDonald's used to have with their hot apple pies. Can anyone help?

Thank you.

Chebe maybe? It's unique because it's not crumbly. I've made calzone's with it and it holds up really well so I would think would work for fried pies.

Oh thanks. I can try it but would have to order some online as we don't have availability like that at local stores. I was really thinking of something I could make myself.

I make pie crust with the recipe on the side of the box of lard. (The brand in the blue box/tub.) It turns out perfectly flaky but not crumbly at all and I simply use rice flour and not a flour mix. I think it would probably work well rolled out thick and deep fried. As always, I include a disclaimer about pie crust, I've been making it since I was about 3 and have been told that apparently it can be a difficult skill to master. Don't work it too much, as soon as it's "dough" roll it out gently once and only once on a floured surface. Use a finger dipped in water wet edges to make them seal together.

It's actually pretty tempting to try this myself. I know I shouldn't, stupid useless missing gallbladder and all that. But little fried pies sound so yummy!

Thanks eatmeat! That's what I was looking for!smile.gif I don't know why I couldn't find one to suit. I Googled 60 ways from Sunday but never thought to search for fried apple pie ----- DUH!huh.gif

The only thing is the shortening. Crisco is soy & I can't do soy. Then there's the whole low sal thing. Would it work do you think to use safflower oil instead of shortening? Because of low iodine I can't do any margarine or butters either.

Oh thanks Adelaide. We cross posted. Yeah, I know about the pie crust thing ---- I have tried umpteen pie crusts & have never been able to get the hang of it. My sister can make it perfect every time --- guess she got all the pie crust genes cause I sure didn't!laugh.gif

Could you use Spectrum shortening? It is from palm oil I believe.

Balk at the idea all you want, but barring being a vegetarian, the key to a perfect pie crust is lard. Say it with me L-A-R-D. Lard. The fat of a dead pig. Besides the obvious magic of it being a pig, it isn't margarine, or butter, or soy, I don't think it has an iodine problem. (And yes you have to use a solid fat, no liquids will work for a pie crust to the best of my knowledge.)

The recipe eatmeat posted with the flour, shortening, etc, is pie crust. It doesn't CALL it pie crust, but when you mix flour, salt and shortening, it's pie crust.

What you need to do is call your sister! You make the filling, she can do the crust. It'll be perfect.

Thanks you two. I'm not afraid of L-A-R-D! Heck, I need to put some fat on these skinny bones.laugh.giflaugh.giflaugh.gif

Call my sister?ohmy.gifohmy.gifohmy.gif Heavens no! We don't jive. Never have, never will. Don't even know her phone #. If I did she'd likely suck the blood out of me right through the phone receiver.laugh.giflaugh.giflaugh.gif

I'll look for lard or spectrum shortening.

Patti --- OH YEAHHHHHH ---- biscuits --- that's going to be the next thing I tackle.

Some people are like lard? Oh no it's animal fat it's all bad for me and I'll die of some horrible disease! I haven't tackled biscuits yet. The idea depresses me to be honest, I'm used to duplicating my grammy's perfect flaky melt-in-your mouth delicacies so maybe I'll just never go there.

I find lard either by the Crisco in the baking aisle or for some bizarre reason some few places have it with the meats. I wouldn't know a thing about spectrum though. Pretty sure if I even thought about buying it I'd be struck by lightning. We don't mess with that sort of thing in my family.

Please keep me posted on that. Biscuits are one of the very few things I have yet to make gluten-free that are as good as the wheat ones. I used to use the soft winter wheat and buttermilk. I've come close but no cigar :D

Some people are like lard? Oh no it's animal fat it's all bad for me and I'll die of some horrible disease!

At least our bodies know what to do with it as opposed to some of the ingredients out there!

Oh yeah! LARD!!!

Hey Squirming- That is what I used for fat, frying meat, and all baking when I had to be low sal!! Isn't that great! And I had to put some fat on my skinny bones at that time too, so I didn't worry about it. The only problem I had was that it has BHT or somesuch preservative in it. I was trying to avoid preservatives, but I decided not to worry about it too much. I just couldn't imagine myself walking into the health food store and asking for organic, hormone and preservative free LARD!!! hahaha :lol: I learned lard makes GREAT French Fries too!

I think I'm gonna try the recipe with lard and rice flour!

Thanks for that tip Adelaide! My son used to love those Hot Pocket things and I am envisioning making him little chicken pot pies with chicken breast, potato, peas and carrot. Little chicken gravy with cornstarch. Oh jeez, I gotta start finding time to cook!!

Happy eating y'all! Oh yum. :D

Hey, try whatever flour makes you happiest! I use rice flour because it's here. I wouldn't use it for dusting a counter though, ick. Six months and I've still only tried one flour blend and I didn't like it. If I had one I liked I'd probably use it for my crusts instead. Lard for french fries? Mmmmmmmmm...... I need to pack some fat on my um, fat?

I make little pot pies in those teeny tiny disposable pie tins. You can do little shepherd's pies too and they freeze wonderfully.

"Can I help you find something?"

"Yes, I'd like the organic and preservative free tallow of one swine please."

:blink:

Congrats, you are now the weirdest person shopping at the health food store! (And I had a person the other day ask me what the pen in the bulk section would write if it were a doll. I smiled and fled.)

Can you say hockey puck? laugh.giflaugh.giflaugh.gif Fried apple hockey pucks anyone?laugh.giflaugh.giflaugh.gif

The dough wouldn't hold together w/o cracking or fissures. It simply wasn't pliable. I couldn't get it down to 1/8" thickness. But despite all that I fried them anyway. And they actually didn't taste bad. They were just HARD. And the kitchen was a mess, I was a mess, the floor was a mess.

But they didn't taste bad! See, it's practically a success. Gosh, 1/8"? Crazy! If I was gonna be deep frying some pies I'd want it a bit thicker than that to hold up a little better. I keep my paper thin crusts for in pans. The more you practice the better you'll get at it. It never really gets less messy though.

laugh.giflaugh.giflaugh.gif Adalaide! My experimenting is over for a bit. screwed up my right shoulder/arm & kept pushing on through to do the pies & blew it out completely. Have to wait till I heal to try anything else. Gawd, it was hell trying to roll that dough with this shoulder. Then mop the floor??????!!!!! I'm all done in.ohmy.gif

This recipe resemble mine and I can say that when you follow it, the result is perfect. I'm using the same dough for meat empanadas. My dough isn't hard, it will bake very quickly and will stay soft. You can call it apple pies because they taste like it.

One tip: Work with the small amount of dough (for 4-6 empanadas only)

and before you will roll it out, knead it in your hands to make it more smooth.

      Recently Diagnosed Celiac- Need advice

      By Anmol · Posted

      Thanks this is helpful. Couple of follow -ups- that critical point till it stays silent is age dependent or dependent on continuing to eat gluten. In other words if she is on gluten-free diet can she stay on silent celiac disease forever?    what are the most cost effective yet efficient test to track the inflammation/antibodies and see if gluten-free is working .

      Recently Diagnosed Celiac- Need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the community forum, @Anmol! There are a number of blood antibody tests that can be administered when diagnosing celiac disease and it is normal that not all of them will be positive. Three out of four that were run for you were positive. It looks pretty conclusive that you have celiac disease. Many physicians will only run the tTG-IGA test so I applaud your doctor for being so thorough. Note, the Immunoglobulin A is not a test for celiac disease per se but a measure of total IGA antibody levels in your blood. If this number is low it can cause false negatives in the individual IGA-based celiac antibody tests. There are many celiacs who are asymptomatic when consuming gluten, at least until damage to the villous lining of the small bowel progresses to a certain critical point. I was one of them. We call them "silent" celiacs".  Unfortunately, being asymptomatic does not equate to no damage being done to the villous lining of the small bowel. No, the fact that your wife is asymptomatic should not be viewed as a license to not practice strict gluten free eating. She is damaging her health by doing so and the continuing high antibody test scores are proof of that. The antibodies are produced by inflammation in the small bowel lining and over time this inflammation destroys the villous lining. Continuing to disregard this will catch up to her. While it may be true that a little gluten does less harm to the villous lining than a lot, why would you even want to tolerate any harm at all to it? Being a "silent" celiac is both a blessing and a curse. It's a blessing in the sense of being able to endure some cross contamination in social settings without embarrassing repercussions. It's a curse in that it slows down the learning curve of avoiding foods where gluten is not an obvious ingredient, yet still may be doing damage to the villous lining of the small bowel. GliadinX is helpful to many celiacs in avoiding illness from cross contamination when eating out but it is not effective when consuming larger amounts of gluten. It was never intended for that purpose. Eating out is the number one sabotager of gluten free eating. You have no control of how food is prepared and handled in restaurant kitchens.

      50 YO Male Recently Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum community, @ekelsay! Yes, your tTG-IGA score is strongly positive for celiac disease. There are other antibody tests that can be run when diagnosing celiac disease but the tTG-IGA is the most popular with physicians because it combines good sensitivity with good specificity, and it is a relatively inexpensive test to perform. The onset of celiac disease can happen at any stage of life and the size of the score is not necessarily an indicator of the progress of the disease. It is likely that you you experienced onset well before you became aware of symptoms. It often takes 10 years or more to get a diagnosis of celiac disease after the first appearance of symptoms. In my case, the first indicator was mildly elevated liver enzymes that resulted in a rejection of my blood donation by the Red Cross at age 37. There was no GI discomfort at that point, at least none that I noticed. Over time, other lab values began to get out of norm, including decreased iron levels. My PCP was at a complete loss to explain any of this. I finally scheduled an appointment with a GI doc because the liver enzymes concerned me and he tested me right away for celiac disease. I was positive and within three months of gluten free eating my liver enzymes were back to normal. That took 13 years since the rejection of my blood donation by the Red Cross. And my story is typical. Toward the end of that period I had developed some occasional diarrhea and oily stool but no major GI distress. Many celiacs do not have classic GI symptoms and are "silent" celiacs. There are around 200 symptoms that have been associated with celiac disease and many or most of them do not involve conscious GI distress. Via an autoimmune process, gluten ingestion triggers inflammation in the villous lining of the small bowel which damages it over time and inhibits the ability of this organ to absorb the vitamins and minerals in the food we ingest. So, that explains why those with celiac disease often suffer iron deficiency anemia, osteoporosis and a host of other vitamin and mineral deficiency related medical issues. The villous lining of the small bowel is where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. So, yes, anemia is one of the classic symptoms of celiac disease. One very important thing you need to be aware of is that your PCP may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining to confirm the results of the blood antibody testing. So, you must not begin gluten free eating until that is done or at least you know they are going to diagnose you with celiac disease without it. If you start gluten free eating now there will be healing in the villous lining that will begin to take place which may compromise the results of the biopsy.

      Recently Diagnosed Celiac- Need advice

      By Anmol · Posted

      Hello all- my wife was recently diagnosed with Celiac below are her blood results. We are still absorbing this.  I wanted to seek clarity on few things:  1. Her symptoms aren't extreme. She was asked to go on gluten free diet a couple years ago but she did not completely cut off gluten. Partly because she wasn't seeing extreme symptoms. Only bloating and mild diarrhea after a meal full of gluten.  Does this mean that she is asymptomatic but enormous harm is done with every gram of gluten.? in other words is amount gluten directly correlated with harm on the intestines? or few mg of gluten can be really harmful to the villi  2. Why is she asymptomatic?  3. Is Gliadin X safe to take and effective for Cross -contamination or while going out to eat?  4. Since she is asymptomatic, can we sometimes indulge in a gluten diet? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deamidated Gliadin, IgG - 64 (0-19) units tTG IgA -  >100 (0-3) U/ml tTG IgG - 4   (0-5) Why is this in normal range? Endomysial Antibody - Positive  Immunoglobulin A - 352 (87-352) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for help in advance, really appreciate!
