Given my background as a mom with two kids with this deficiency, as a well as a board certified family physician, my goal is to make lipoprotein lipase deficiency / Fredrickson's type I hyperlipidemia / Buerger-Gruetz syndrome more understandable and liveable for other families.

Rustic Apple Tarts
I've been at a loss for a long time about the best option for a pie crust.  They often stuck horribly to the pie pan and were dense and chewy.  Yuck.  Which is a shame, as a fruit-based dessert is such an obvious answer for LPLD.  So maybe the answer is to free the pie from the pan?
I made these rustic apple tarts and instead of butter I used half coconut oil, and half MCT oil.  Not perfect for LPL, but they were certainly delicious!  Lighter crust, one actually worth eating.  I skipped the butter entirely in the filling, and used just egg white for making the pastry extra golden - turned out great.  Don't forget the dusting of flour before you put the apples in, it really made a difference - the ones I forgot to dust ended up leaking apple juice and burning on the edges from it.  Still tasty, but not quite as pretty.
