flour (a gluten-free blend (not plain rice flour alone for bread)) → a gluten-free blend (not plain rice flour alone for bread). Coatings and roux can swap. Yeast breads need a blend designed for gluten-free baking. butter → olive-oil. Use a little less oil than butter. Pastry and laminated doughs are a different problem. lemon → lime. Same acidity, different perfume. Taste before you repeat the squeeze. egg (silken tofu or skip (depends on the dish)) → silken tofu or skip (depends on the dish). Carbonara without egg is not carbonara. Fried rice can skip the egg. We will not pretend otherwise.

Instructions for crust Combine the flour, sugar, and salt to a food processor bowl. Mix using the pulse setting. Add butter and shortening and pulse about 10 -12 times until the texture is changed to small pebbles. Add ¾ of the ice water and pulse a few more times until the dough takes the shape of a ball. Add more water as needed. Don't overmix. Don't worry if the dough isn't completely blended. You will use your rolling pin to finish creating the crust. Place dough ball onto the counter and flatten into a flat disc. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour or overnight. Instructions for pie filling Heat butter over medium heat, until just golden brown Add brown sugar, spices, salt and lemon juice. Stir to combine ingredients Add diced apples and stir. Allow apples to cook for about 5-7 minutes, over medium heat Remove from heat and let the apple mixture cool. You can place apples in the refrigerator to speed up the process. Mix egg and water for an egg wash. Roll out pie dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut out rounds of 2 ½ to 3 inches and place them on parchment paper. You will need to roll out the extra dough left over scraps from cutting. In half of the rounds, cut out shapes or holes for ventilation purposes On the other half of the rounds, gently press one lollipop stick about halfway up each round. Place one tablespoon of apple mixture in the center of each round. Place each round on top of apples seal the edges. Brush each pie pop with egg wash and sprinkle sugar on top. Bake 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Enjoy!
