OK, I need some help here. I am to make dessert for Thanksgiving. I
usually make a one crust, no sugar added, apple pie(cobbler?) having only
the crisp top crust. This year my gluten sensitive cousing will be
joining us so I am working on a plan to make the usual apple filling, but
no crust, just sprinkling some finely chopped walntus(not ground). I am
worried thatthey wil just sind to the bottom. I have thought of baking
the apple filling (covered with foil) and then removing the cover an
putting the nuts on and lettin them toast. Perhaps I should simply tost
the nuts sparately and then put them on before serving or after the
filling is out of the oven and cooling. I am not making a Brown Betty
toopping wich usualy had flour or oatmeal or both along with some nuts,
just kind of a top nut crust(which might require finer nut pieces, easy
to do in the food processor. Should I simply kind of pack the nuts on top
of either the raw or baked filling?

Any thoughts out there?

Chopped walnuts shouldn't sink anymore than a regular crumble. How about
adding some almond flour with butter, cinnamon and chopped walnuts (in
place of oats) plus a bit of sweetener so its more like a regular
crumble topping. Can you get granular sweeteners there? That would
probably be best for the texture.

any of what you propose is good to me, also there are gluton free oats which
you might consider, Lee

and i just thought, you could walnut halves which would be way less likely
to sink. Lee

I make apple crisp with that. Just sub in the GF oats and some rice flour,
either brown or white. Also use coconut oil in place of butter or
margarine. A bit of cinnamon. But a ton of brown sugar. That's the rub.
Without the sugar the crisp part won't get crisp.

I have pretty much had to stop making the crisp because we will eat too much
of it. Now I just do either fried apple slices (with peel) or whole baked
apples with a cinnamon stick inserted in each. Angela likes those. She
doesn't like nuts but is getting better. Once in a while she will eat
something with nuts. And she likes one kind of Lara bars. But mostly she
won't eat nuts.

i like that baked apple idea, Lee

baking

Well, just to report what I did, but th eproof will be in the tastng this
afternoon.

I made my usual pie filling of sliced apples(assorted this time) adding
lemon juice, cinnamon(tons because the cinnamon was not stron-need a new
container ful)n Splenda to tastr and that's it. I put them into a
retangular pan covered with foil with one largish hole in the center(like
a well pricked pie crust) and baked about haof way. Removed the foil and
replaced with ton (about 3/4 lb over 5 lbs(raw weight) of apples of choped
walnuts that had been shaken with some cinnamon and Splenda). I then
baked it until the topping brrowned some and the apple seemed soft. I
will tell you tomorrow hw everbody reacted to it.

it sure sounds good, Lee

apple pie with nuts on top! Everything was ust rand and everyone was able
to eat it with no problem!

I hope you all had a good thanksgiving if it applies to ou, and to

One year I made Chayote like an apple pie filling. I got the idea from
Ozgirl. People ate it and liked it but my family is just weird about stuff
like that. They were afraid to eat more than one bite. They would have
done the same with the apples. Last year I bought enough gluten free gravy
for everyone but my mom refused to serve it to the others. Until she ran
out of her gravy. And then she told my nephew he could have some. They act
like anything that isn't made exactly to a familiar recipe is something
strange and to be avoided.

Wonderful, Wendy I can see it will be real big sacrifice to have to
eat the rest Would be nice with a bit of dollop cream. What did you
have for the rest of the meal?

My DIL made a lovely squash and pear soup served with a slice of lime and
cilantro.. Then the turkey with stuffing(made outside the bird) roast
potato wedges, particularly for the gluten-free guest, raoasted parsnips
adn carrots (needed a bit mor cooking) my sugar-free spiced cranberry
sauce, big simple green salad (served right after the soup) and my
desserts, the apple thing and the punpkin custard made with almond milk.
Also lots of good conversation.

I could do that, but I don't think they are quite as good as fresh
from the peanut oil.

Wendy, what's the Jewish food group? I'm on fec.food.jewish but there
hasn't bee any traffic there for years. Is Brian Mailman still around?

This is Brians mail-list. It varies, but I would say most on it are quite
observant and , although no set kashrut standards, it is expected that
recipes will conform to jewish detary laws or have been personally adapted
nad tried toby the poster. Not "you might try it with soy milk," but "I
found rice milk wroks better than soy milk if you want to try it parev."
You get the point. If you are interested in the group, send me your
correct email addy and I will send you the info on joining and the

The Dollar Store had some really thick, heavy duty plastic cutlery. No
breaking those things while eating. :-)

sounds like the costco plastic (clear) cutlery

we end up washing it as we can't abide throwing it out after one use
(unless it's the final meal before we pack up and close camp) LOL

I'll have to check Costco. I buy them when I see them at The Dollar Store. I
always throw them in the dishwasher and save for picnics etc. Never had one
melt or anything, and very sturdy. Whenever we go to the lodge, where they
have those cheap plastic forks that break when you look at them, I always
bring my own. LOL

Yeah, nothing worse than losing the top of your fork in a piece of
salad, lol. Or worse, if your paper plate bends in a few different
directions while fully loaded.

I always check Party City and the other party stores. Even online.
Sometimes they put a certain color on clearance for like 10 cents a package.
We're not picky on the color.

But I did learn not to buy the "medium weight" from the restaurant supply
place. I got knives and spoons that are only good for scooping out the cat
food. Very flimsy things.

My parents washed their plastic stuff. I can't really see doing that. But
then... I only buy it when it's cheap. Mostly I buy at Costco. I can see
if you are camping because you don't want to lug a bunch of stuff in with
you.

The clear ones at Costco are the best but it's an assortment pack. Never
enough spoons in it for us. The white ones they sell individually are good
but not as sturdy as the clear.

What you should NOT do though is buy their seasonal assortment pack of
plates and napkins. They are pretty but the plates are not sturdy at all.
So you wind up using 2 or 3 if you are eating with the plate in your lap.

Worse still, swallowing the bite of salad and THEN realizing you have only 4
tines.

Lol, when we had our motorcycle racetrack event business we provided a
bbq lunch for the 120 or so participants (sausage sandwiches with home
made salads - lol, dunno how I did all that back in the day - the salads
I mean) plus served tea/coffee throughout the day. We bought some bulk
plastic teaspoons from a catering warehouse and first time we used them
they melted in the cups... I used them for years for the kids to take
with yoghurt tubs to school

I don't with the teaspoons I buy for Jasmine's school yoghurt, mainly
because she tosses them out after eating For a short while I sent
real teaspoons and asked her not to put them in the bin but sadly it
either didn't compute or she forgot once she was out the door. When she
was younger she was in a mainstream school but in a special class. The
aides used to keep the kids in the classroom to eat before letting them
outside to play. That way all their belongings were accounted for and
even washed and dried and put back in the lunchboxes. I miss that

I used to have plate holders. Some were basket material, others were
plastic. All they ever needed were a quick rinse and left to dry in the
drainer.

Gee... How can I get Angela to throw stuff out? I just looked in her
lunchbag and there was an empty water bottle, empty squeeze applesauce and a
plastic bag.

I had a ton of those. Plastic and in specific colors. I got them for when
Angela had a Sagwa party. We had Chinese food delivered and we ate outside.
I invited several families. I think we used just plain paper plates. I
don't know what became of them after we moved here.

Oh wow! That's bad. I don't personally like the Chinette plates. Angela
insisted that I buy the recycled paper ones from Costco instead of what I
normally buy which I think is the Dixie. They are fine for dry foods. But
if the food is moist, the plate goes all soggy.

these are the Kirkland brand

they don't split the knives/forks/spoons evenly, you get more forks, 1/3
less knives and a dollop of spoons, so they won't work well as a single
box for a large party, but over the space of the summer vacation &
various family events, we get a good spread from them

BUT, giggle, we wash them as they are too good to single use. i refused
to use plastic cutlery until we found these (and the knife is good
enough to cut a steak, not cheesy at all)

OK, thanks...I think I'm going to Costco in a few minutes, but it's really
foggy right now.

Already have them fro Sam's. No Costco down here.

I'm going to drive down to Brownsville next week. The Marshall's there
has a selection of Chanukah stuff the Marshall's in Harlingen doesn't
carry. I might be able to find special holiday paper plates.
