Mini Fried Gluten Free Pies: Sweet or Savory (Dairy-Free)

When you just cannot deal with rolling a double gluten free pie crust, these mini fried gluten free pies are ideal. However, unlike pie crust, they are crunchy. You may fill them with sweet or savory fillings. For my test recipe I just used Comstock fruit pie filling. Both Comstock and Wilderness brands are gluten free. These little gems are similar to empanadas (Spanish pies), but instead of baking them, you fry them. When empanadas are made in smaller sizes to serve as appetizers, such as these, they are named tapas. You may wish to check out my savory gluten free empanada filling (the crust on that recipe is a traditional gluten free pie crust), or my homemade sauteed apples for a healthier filling, if you’re not a quick open-a-can type of person.

Fried Gluten Free Ravioli

This is a perfect way to use leftover store-bought or homemade ravioli. While you do not have to make homemade breadcrumbs or pizza sauce, they both are delicious additions. Serve as appetizers or main course.

I enjoy using them as an alternative to Totino’s pizza rolls. They truly make an amazing appetizer. Fill them with beef, cheese, or your favorite pizza toppings and serve with a simple marinara sauce, or your favorite gluten-free pizza sauce. Freezing the ravioli prior to and after breading make them crispier. However, if you’re not a crispy lover, skip the freezing. Either way, what’s not to enjoy?

French Seedy Gluten Free Graham Cracker Recipe

Crackers aux Céréales is French for cereal crackers. I made this version of my gluten free graham cracker recipe when I recently stumbled up their existence. Europeans know food, and they have quite a few ideas that only seem to catch on in America if a well-known chef decides to duplicate one of their recipes here in the United States. These seedy crackers are served in France with breakfast. You may top them with the same condiments you use to top your toast. Use jam, nut butter, peanut butter, and even the famous nut cocoa spread, Nutella, which is extremely popular in Europe. It is made of hazelnuts and cocoa. Another option is to dunk them in coffee, tea, or milk. My version of these gluten free cereal crackers tastes like a gluten graham cracker with seeds on top. I hope you enjoy this recipe. There’s nothing like a little nutty flavor on breakfast food. Continue reading “French Seedy Gluten Free Graham Cracker Recipe”
