I love that y’all eat for real, just like I do. Sideways head finish your sentence while chewing. Love it!
I tried faux apple turnover after you fooled your husband. I also tried on my husband and he loves it. I make a keto cream cheese icing to drizzle on top. YUMMY 👍👍
A cream cheese frosting sounds amazing! Going to do that next time for sure!! Yum! -Em
I recently discovered your channel, and I love your energy and the way you support each other on your keto journey!
Thank you so much!! - sarah
Thanks for the ideas. I’m always looking for new things to try. Those “apple pies “ looked delicious.
well said!
3:13...🌠👍👍👍👍you two...so stinking adorable!!! I had more than my share of chicken wraps from the golden arches...that looks yummy!
I hope you’ll try this one, it’s a huge hit in our house! Pickle juice for the win!! ❤️❤️-Em
Can confirm this crispy chicken recipe was the bomb.
Should make it again maybe this weekend lol -Em
How long do you let the chicken cook in the oil? Thanks in advance.
You ladies are a joy!🙏💖
Aww thank you Shauntae!! ❤️❤️❤️-em
I love chayote squash! I know I'll love this keto "apple pie". Wow! So happy there's a keto replacement for apples 🍎
These were great cooks. You really got me with the crunch on the apple pie. I'll try this for crab rangoon filling too. Thanks Keto Twins 😃
Great idea!
Omg I get the same snack wrap and that crunch from your breading sounded amaaazing. I want!!!
They’re so easy to make, alex loved it! Lol! -Em
when i've found when i need to coat anything i put my almond flour and ground pork rinds in a baggie and kind of shake it like shake and bake. and you can still press the coating to it.
I NEED to try this! I'm gonna add honey mustard to mine 😋 Jalapeno ranch is an excellent idea!
Honey mustard 😋, yum! Great idea! -Em
You can make your own jalapeno ranch dressing. Dollar tree has jalapeno sauce and ranch dressing just add as much jalapeno sauce to taste as you want to the ranch dressing. Or put in another container and enjoy. Cost $2.00
@@claudiamatthews7218 awesome idea
The chicken wrap was one of my favorites too. I'm going to have to look into the faux apple pie. It looks yummy. I really like your videos - short and sweet and authentic.
Love the wraps from Wendy's. They stopped offering them before I went keto. I have them back now! Thank you!
Yes! Double cheeseburger sans bun is my favorite (always findable) quick snack when I am out and about.
I made the chicken today as chicken tenders, not in a wrap. The chicken was fantastic, very tender and juicy. However, cooking with avocado oil was an experience for sure. It boils everywhere. Very hard to fry with. I also made your onion rings, and pickles. Yummy. Thank you so much
Hey the fake apple torte reminds me of the paper football's we made as you folded it up! Lol Looks wonderful!! Thanks!!💖🙏
i LOVE you girls!! Thanks for the shoutout!! Yessss the entire family loved it, and I will be making these from this video too!!
You are so welcome, Sheri! ❤️❤️ -Sarah
You are awesome Sheri! Thank you so much for watching us!! ❤️❤️-Em
I still haven't tried pork rinds as breading 😣 I gotta get with it! This looks amazing!
Pork rinds is a game changer for frying! I use it on all types of stuff! - em
Panko pork rinds are about $10 a jar!!
I just take the time and grind my own in an electric chopper. Cost
$1.60 for a full Mason jar quart.
Started keto this week to lose 100lbs. Your videos have helped me to give this another try. Your transparency, your honesty and realness has really inspired me. Thank you
You’ve got this Michelle! Thanks for watching 🤗
Love this video. Looks great. I will be trying this
Thank you ladies.
Next recipe I'll be trying! You guys like all the same foods I do and I love it! 😊
We love to hear that Sarah!! ❤️❤️
I have made faux apple pie with zucchini. You can’t tell the difference. I may try your technique with zucchini.
With zucchini you may not need as much liquid.
I swear I can taste that snack wrap 🤤🤤
I’m definitely gonna have to try that one!
Great video - you two are so cute! I can’t wait to try the chicken wrap - I have been saving pickle juice so I have the brine already!
Pickle brine is a game changer!! Let me know how you like it Michelle! -Em
I’m making those this weekend...so happy that l found you girls.
I use chayote as a pie filling as well and ironically enough I can get them at Wamart! I've fooled a lot of people with my "apple pie". Will be trying both these recipes as soon as the tortillas I ordered online arrive. Unfortunately I can't get low carb tortillas here locally. Keep up the great videos and congrats on your successful journey!
Oh thankyou for this recipe!!!! Had this for thanksgiving and no one could tell. Shared it with my coworkers. One of them has been trying to do keto. I told her you need recipes and a plan. Otherwise you fall back into your old ways.
Pro tip: save your lard and suet. It's a lot cheaper and just as healthy. If you pour it through fine sieve, it won't smoke -- but I like the flavor so don't usually do that. You can save your olive and avo oil for other stuff where you need it to be liquid at colder temps, like salad dressing etc.
Thanks for the tip!
Love you guys. I brine my chicken to. Great idea for apple turnover. The chayote squash in your dish with some crumble topping would be good to with a stop of rebel vanilla, yum I really like the chicken wrap, gonna do one
Zucchini can be used instead of that other squash if you can’t find it. You skin the zucchini and remove seeds
Thank you so much for the snack wrap recipe and helping out my keto frying game! These were delish! Just found you guys and I’m so happy I did!
So glad you liked the snack wrap, Jen! ❤️ Sarah
I love using chayote as faux apple...... using an empanada recipe by LOW CARB RECIPES JOURNEY. SO GOOD!
I usually saute the chayote cubes then add lemon juice, cinnamon, allspice and Sukrin Gold sweetener...thicken with xanthan gum........awesome faux apple...my husband did not know it was not apple.
Okay did short cut b4 did chick but not wrap. Came home from work I fried the chicken I got the wrap I made keto ranch dressing added some Lettuce, wow girls this is really good
So glad you liked it Michele!
I really want to try these recipes, how yummy!
Ok, i stopped mid video to tell you that steve from serious keto makes stuffing from thanksgiving chaffles. It looks amazing. Just wanted to tell you that. Love your videos!
Thanks for the suggestion Paula! We will have to try it
The apple topping would be great cold over Greek yogurt
So you fold it like a paper football. An interesting way, I like it!
It works with a variety of fillings too and keeps all the sides closed for easy frying! Hope you try it! -Emily
That chicken looks so good!
I just adore y’all I want you every day. You inspire me.
🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🤣❤️-Em
😂 I watch you!l 😂
Literally eating it as i type. I was blow away with how I did not just go get this wrap from Mcdonalds it is the exact same… granted i had mishaps such as the breading refusing to stick and get crispy in the deep oil but GOOD STUFF
Edit:
If you have high blood pressure or are sodium sensitive, only eat one. Just made that mistake and my BP was up. I check MFP and the sodium in this meal is HIGH
You guys are so funny! I love watching your videos! Just found your channel and yes I did subscribe and I like each video! Lol thank you for sharing your experiences. ❤️❤️
Thank you for subscribing! ❤️
I made a snack wrap with no sugar bbq sauce and it was just like the ones I used to get from McDonalds.
Yum!! -Em
I love your different recipes, both look delicious. You guys are so fun to watch.
You guys have such a feel good vibe, love watching your videos. Keep it up please
Thank you so much Jessica!! We try to keep it fun! -Em
Omg! I watched this vid last night and couldn't wait to try the snack wraps today for dinner- I can't believe how DELICIOUS they are! I agree, even better than McDonald's and I feel SO satisfied! I wanted to try the apple pie too, but I have to find chayote somewhere first 😕 thank you so much for what you both do, I am so excited I just recently found you! I've been binging, favoriting and saving all your videos, I have so many recipes to try now! Thank you and please don't ever stop making videos, you both are my favorite! You are so down to earth, I love how you just are so REAL and talk like you're just talking to friends. 🤗🥰😊
Aww thank you!! So happy you liked the snack wrap! One of my favs! -em
If you make white bread chaffles with mayo and sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds on top, you can have burgers *with buns*!
I haven’t yet tried cheyote squash. I’m going to pick some up this weekend and try its thanks for another great video.
Hope you enjoy Michelle its a great substitute for apples! -em
Just thought id let u gals know that rhubarb is very low carb as well and goes great with this chayote vegetable! Keto apple and rhubarb crisp would be nice♥️ thanks I enjoy your channel here in Australia!!
Thanks for the tip Lynda! -Em
Hi girls 👧🏻 👧🏻 Omg My mouth is drooling I can not wait to try this . I did try pork rinds once to eat like chips but no can do . didn’t like it at all . but I will def try this ty for all you do 🌻🌻🌻I posted too soon omg apple pie I will def try …
I can’t wait to try!!
Like I always say! DELIGHTFUL! 💞. I am anxious to see if I can find that squash at my local grocery stores...thank you ladies! 💞
Awesome video‼️❤️. Y’all rock❌⭕️
I brine wings as well.
you girls are such a big help
❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you Ann! -Em
@@ketotwins you girls are real live you both thank you! Eat keto pretty much because starch and sugar trigger migraine bad .tks!
Thanksgiving recipes, please!
Tried the pickle brine with chicken tenders last night....so good!!! A little on the salty side for my hubby and me, so I will not add as much salt to the brine and breading next time, but I've definitely found somwthing that will be a regular in my kitchen! Thank you!❤
Yay! So happy you love it! It’s a regular for us too! -Em
I ❤️ this vlog! Even thou I'm a yr late to dinner... purrrrrfect 😽 timing because I jus bought/found 2 chayotes! How crazy is that?! Uncanny! And I'd rather try your version of an apple hand pie vs the one I bought them for!? I ❤️ McDonald's Apple Pies but rarely indulge in one. Super excited these recipes & the chayotes. This might become a meal plan for me?!
Q: How do you know they are ready to use?! Do you peel them??!
Thanks again Twins!
Blessings from Iowa, L
The faux apple filling is good. The cut da carb wraps work just like you showed.
I just had the leftover one for breakfast. It’s even better cold. Yum
AWSOME
I'm making this!! I also saw someone take the Chayote Cubed and cook it in water with a couple spiced apple tea bags (The same people who make Sleepy TIme Tea). Celestial maybe? I drink it all the time and just threw my box out,, UGH! Guess I'm trash digging!! lol!! Seriously Apple Spiced Tea is so good!! Ok, its Celestial, I Dug,,,I washed my hands! :)
The tea bags are a great idea! Thanks for sharing Lily!
@@ketotwins I searched my city for chayote today no luck, so i will order some, Also should I peel it? Im clueless.. Remember I'm lucky i can boil water successfully. Im horrible in the kitchen! Im trying tho!!
In New Orleans, we call those mirlitons. We pronounce it MEL-A-TAWN. Not sure why... I actually made shrimp & mirliton dressing for Thanksgiving (no breadcrumbs). Love it!
Yummy thank bunches! You can also use yellow squash for phoo apples!
Great tip Debbie! I haven’t tried squash yet for faux apples! -Em
OMGoodness!!!!!!! OMGoodness!!!!!!! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
How about faux apples in using yellow squash?? I made pies all the time. No one knew! Cut it long ways. Scoop out seeds. Slice . They look like apple slices. Cook them up by adding the things you did to yours.
I have heard that it works too! Chayote is in the squash family as well! -Em
Thanks, my hubby enjoyed the tortilla cream cheese, and everything bagel
So happy to hear that Dori!! -Em
I want to try your pickle brine on my chicken tenders very soon. I am now motivated and inspired. TY
It’s a game changer for sure! I don’t make chicken now without at least a quick brine first! -Em
OMG! It is 6am and I WANT that chicken now. Thanks for the simple recipe which I will try soon. And I can't wait to watch the apple pie creation!
Wow on the fried apple pie. Y'all are great! Thanks!
Aww thank you so much! The apple pie one is so surprisingly good!! -Em
3k!!!! Congrats y'all 🎉🎊 These recipes look amazing... Definitely going in my "must try" saved recipes!!!🤠💕
I think you have something to do with that 😉because you told heavenly fan about our video! So thank you Sasha!! ❤️-Em
@@ketotwins Recognition well deserved...💕
I usually drink my pickle juice 🤣, love it. But now I'll save it for brine, thanks again.
Pickle juice is great for electrolytes, and for hangovers 🤣-Em
I want someone to brine me in pickle juice
Challenge accepted
@@N0it 🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰
Because I am now diabetic and need to go keto I just recently found your videos.
I love all your videos and have downloaded many for future recipes. Thanks for all you do.
I know this video was posted 3 years ago but do you remember what Sargento Cheese you used?
Thanks. 😊
Hi! We like the thin cheddar slices :)
Zucchini works as well for apple pie filling :)
But for real these look soooooo goood
They are amazing and easy to make!! -Em
Very clever recipes! Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much James! -Em
Emily, Steve from Serious Keto has a Chaffle Stuffing recipe that looks really good. I recently discovered you two and love tuning in!!
That’s what I made this past Thanksgiving and it was awesome! I still have the stuffing herbs in the freezer and cranberry to put on the stuffing chaffles! So good!!
I really love you girls!!! Wish we were neighbors!
Aw thank you Linda! That means a lot to us! -Sarah
I use to get that wrap back in the days because I wanted to eat "healthier " lol!! Everyone would get burgers and I would order that 😄 And the apple pies were my dad's favorite 🙂 Gotta try these out, thank you for sharing.
😂 I also thought it was healthier, so I got two at a time 🙈-Emily
🤣 Yes!
I make a faux apple pie with yellow squash. I swear NO ONE knows it's squash. I'll try the squash. Plus I know that I would never find the other where I live.
Did you know you can lacto-ferment the apples and use them too? I am T2 and tested this and my blood sugar only rose about as much as if I had eaten a cup of broccoli with the fermented apples. This looks like a great alternative though if you don't want to do that. I have tried chayote in the past but I like your method. Thanks!
I had no idea, I’ll have to look that up! -Em
I like the new video concept. I know a lot of people don't "approve" of making alternatives, but it's those things that would make me want to cheat. I'd prefer to just make it Keto friendly (ends up tasting better most of the time anyway).
Yeah we definitely feel like the best kind of Keto is the sustainable kind! Making things like this keeps it interesting - ❤️-Emily
@@ketotwins Can't wait to see what y'all recreate next. 🧡
Lol I always end up with batter fingers despite my best efforts to have a wet hand and a dry hand 😆
Lol! This is the first time I got it right 😆😂-Em
Looks great 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
one of my faves from McD's were their hashbrowns. Now I just had an idea but I have no clue how to execute this, so if I could request y'all experiment? When you break open a hashbrown from McD's, notice the texture is a lot like the insides of frozen tater tots. For me, it resembles the texture of cauliflower rice...so I am wondering...if cauliflower rice were to be cooked well, then have the juices squeezed out of it with a nut milk bag or tea towel etc so that you only have the textured rice left, then mix in an egg to bind it, use a cookie scoop to form tots, maybe a coating of some kind idk?, then fry in some avocado oil....could that liken tater tots that are keto-friendly? dry herbs etc could also be added to the rice. I have seen some add mashed potato extract to give a potato taste but I'm not that fancy. It may help to freeze the tots a bit before frying, and/or roll them in some neutral tasting cheese (because not everyone likes pork rinds).
I think other people have made it with cauliflower but others have used grated daikon radish too! That’s a great suggestion, thanks Holli! -Em
Omg! When Sarah bit into the pie 😆 it looked like she broke her neck by biting into it 😆
Lol I think she was afraid of it spilling all over her 😂-Em
I hate eating on camera and the filling was pouring out lol 😂
@@ketotwins I am the same way 😆 I always edit out me chewing lol!
Loved the chicken wrap... forgot the pickle juice
For anyone... Can you taste the pork rind after frying in oil? I'd love to try but don't like the taste of pork rinds. But if frying them removes that taste, then awesome.
Spices and frying removes the taste
I just found you last night. Our electricity went out and we were freezing without heat and no tv of course! So I wrapped up in a blanket and watched keto videos. I found you through another video of someone who said they follow you (either Keto Focus or Heavenly Fan), so I thought I would check you out. I must have watched over a dozen videos... the electricity was out for more than 3 1/2 hours!
What brand of jalapeno ranch dressing did you use? It sounds so good!
We use lighthouse ranch dressing! :) thanks so much for watching so many of our videos Mary Beth! -Em
@@ketotwins You're welcome! I will be watching all of them!!
@@ketotwins And thanks for the info!!
👍👍👍👍👍👍
What kind of tortilla you use for keto??
We use the mission low carb tortillas or Aldi fit and active tortillas- em
Looks great, yum. Please tell what brand jalapeno ranch and what tortillas you used?! (:
We like mission low carb tortillas and litehouse ranch :)
Is the cooked Chayote soft? Could it be spread on toast or a Chaffle like apple butter/jam?😉 Great ideas and lots of humor!
Yes it is soft! I’m sure if you cut it even smaller it would work! It’s amazing how much it tastes like apple! -Em
Looks good 😋
Any other option other than pork rinds? I cannot do pig skin. Ugh!
Wonder if you could air fry ?? Looks almost like one, better lettuce than some lol. The faux apple look good. Stay safe & take care of you all. Thanks for sharing eh :))
I just got an air fryer so I’ll have to experiment, I’ve never used one before! -Em
I bought a Dash one with Christmas money. I have did steak, pork, sausages, turkey breast & something else but can't remember it. I love it so good luck with yours.@@ketotwins
Instead of deep frying can you bake the chicken tenders ?
I’m sure you can! I haven’t done it though! Some people use an air fryer too! -Em
Do you think it you used an avocado spray you could do in air fryer?
Probably, I don’t use my airfryer that often but many others do with success
Pickle brine also makes for an excellent dirty martini.
Hey Sarah, Emily we eat chayote in our soups
I'm enjoying your wonderful recipe ideas. I'm such a fan of my air fryer, I gotta' ask - have you tried air frying?
I have an air fryer that I have only used a couple times, I don’t think I’ve gotten the hang of it yet because I still like good ole fashioned oil 🤣-Em
@@ketotwins Ahh - I understand. I'm old and have always avoided frying - mostly. So the air fryer has changed the way I cook - for how fast it cooks, and easy cleanup it is. I will say the more I used it the more I did get the hang of it - over a couple years of using it. The best help for me is using a quick read thermometer - because I tend to over cook things otherwise. What works for one may not be for someone else. Thanks for your videos. Your recipe ideas look really good - and doable. And you two are adorable!
