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.

I agree about lard--it also makes a very good biscuit :)

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

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.

      Newly diagnosed mam to coeliac 11 year old

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Dizzyma! I'm assuming you are in the U.K. since you speak of your daughter's celiac disease blood tests as "her bloods".  Has her physician officially diagnosed her has having celiac disease on the results of her blood tests alone? Normally, if the ttg-iga blood test results are positive, a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for damage would be ordered to confirm the results of "the bloods". However if the ttg-iga test score is 10x normal or greater, some physicians, particularly in the U.K., will dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy. If there is to be an endoscopy/biopsy, your daughter should not yet begin the gluten free diet as doing so would allow healing of the small bowel lining to commence which may result in a biopsy finding having results that conflict with the blood work. Do you know if an endoscopy/biopsy is planned? Celiac disease can have onset at any stage of life, from infancy to old age. It has a genetic base but the genes remain dormant until and unless triggered by some stress event. The stress event can be many things but it is often a viral infection. About 40% of the general population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, for most, the genes remain dormant.  Celiac disease is by nature an autoimmune disorder. That is to say, gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that causes the body to attack its own tissues. In this case, the attack happens in he lining of the small bowel, at least classically, though we now know there are other body systems that can sometimes be affected. So, for a person with celiac disease, when they ingest gluten, the body sends attacking cells to battle the gluten which causes inflammation as the gluten is being absorbed into the cells that make up the lining of the small bowel. This causes damage to the cells and over time, wears them down. This lining is composed of billions of tiny finger-like projections and which creates a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. This area of the intestinal track is where all of our nutrition is absorbed. As these finger-like projections get worn down by the constant inflammation from continued gluten consumption before diagnosis (or after diagnosis in the case of those who are noncompliant) the efficiency of nutrient absorption from what we eat can be drastically reduced. This is why iron deficiency anemia and other nutrient deficiency related medical problems are so common in the celiac population. So, to answer your question about the wisdom of allowing your daughter to consume gluten on a limited basis to retain some tolerance to it, that would not be a sound approach because it would prevent healing of the lining of her small bowel. It would keep the fires of inflammation smoldering. The only wise course is strict adherence to a gluten free diet, once all tests to confirm celiac disease are complete.

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By Russ H · Posted

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article
