Converting An Apple Crisp Recipie To Cf

I'm so happy to be able to make apple crisp with oats again and have converted my old recipe to gluten-free and made it sucessfully many times but now I want to replace the butter with something. Will Earthbalance or Spectrum shortening work? The texture will be diferent I'm sure because the butter is cut in cold, while it's firm. Maybe a little ghee with the shortening to add the butter flavor. Shortening by itself sounds so laking in flavor. What would you or have you done?

I haven't tried a cf crisp topping before, but I've been researching baking with ghee and most of what I have come across echoes that ghee and butter have different properties in baking, so the results might be a little oilier with ghee.

It was recommended you use less ghee than the amount of butter called for when baking.

If you do a search for "vegan apple crisp" or any vegan fruit crisps, you might get some ideas for what and the amount they sub for butter, I saw anything from canola oil to margarine.

Adding a little ghee to the margarine is a good idea I think, to add a little "butter" flavor.

Do you have time to do a test run??

Thank you for all the help lately! I will try a search for vegan crisp.

Also great for crunchy topping:

pecans

coconut

same amount of both

dates

enough for it to start to stick together

dash salt

dash cayenne pepper

cocoa nibs (raw chocolate - optional)

put in food processor until it just sticks together; dump on top of bowl of fruit. No sugar. Raw. Goodness of nuts (if you can digest them). Vegan.

I have a recipe that will work. I just need to find it...I kind of created it myself.

It took me a while but I finally tried this recipie subbing same amount of Earthbalance for the butter. I was satisfied with the results. the oats helped it crisp and made up for any difference in texture that the substitution caused. Thanks again to all for you help!

Fruit Crisp Topping:

1/2 c. oats

1/4 to 1/2c. packed brown sugar

1/4 c. gluten-free flour( I used a white rice/starch blend and sorghum with 1 part rice flour 1 part sorghum and potato and tapioca starches)

1/4 tsp. cinnamon, nutmeg or ginger

1/4 c. Earthbalance Spread ( or 2 Tb. Earthbalance, 2 Tb. Spectrum shortening)

1/4 c. chopped nuts-optional

      Enegy level extremely low

      By Sicilygirl · Posted

      My iron is good I had it checked 3 times prior to being diagnosed with Celiac. My energy is better at night which is weird. I need it more during the day to function. This  has been hard to deal with emotionally, mentaly and pysically. Thank God that this website exists. Its helped me considerably since the doctor was of no help. Every body is different and I know that it will take me longer to heal I just have to stay positive and wait.  Also are you hungry ever?

      How to navigate living with dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      We've got plenty Tiernan's over here across the Irish Sea! I think anything will irritate an open wound in the skin. My dermatologist suggested Aveno moisturiser and E45 Emollient shower cream when she thought it was Eczema. I'm sure they will help during a dermatitis herpetiformis outbreak, or be the least irritating. Rinsing off after exercise should give you some relief. Dapsone is an antibiotic and it does reduce the skin inflammation associated with dermatitis herpetiformis blisters as well as eliminating the itch. I don't think it affects the immune system like oral steroids though. My GP said it can affect the bone marrow ... I believe in terms of red blood cell production. It causes them to break apart prematurely. They measure the reticulocyte count (immature red blood cells) in your blood while on Dapsone to see it's effects. People with a G6PD deficiency are more susceptible to Dapsone side effects. Here's a leaflet from the British Association of Dermatologists explaining Dapsone in more detail ... https://www.skinhealthinfo.org.uk/condition/dapsone/ Your dermaotolgist would need to determine how long to be on Dapsone. I guess if the antibodies in the skin are reduced over time with a strict gluten-free diet, then the need for Dapsone is less likely when glutened. So, Knitty Kitty's advice on Niacin and all things dermatitis herpetiformis related is spot on.  Have you had the skin biopsy yet?

      Test result insight

      By disneyfamilyfive · Posted

      Good morning, I thought I’d quickly update this post.  A week or so after my test results were posted, my doctor’s nurse called to say 2 of 3 blood tests showed elevated numbers and referred to GI for further evaluation.  It took about 3 -4 weeks to get into a GI, it was over the holidays too, so I’m sure that pushed things out a bit.  Met with the GI who was great, really listened and said that even though the main celiac test was still in normal range, there are 2 tests that are not and in his experience not all 3 tests need to be positive to take the next steps.  He said after listening to all my symptoms, and looking through my recent medical history he felt that celiac was very likely.  5 days later I was in for an endoscopy (and colonoscopy just to cover all bases at once) and 6 days later the biopsy results came back as positive for celiac sprue.  GI of course said a strict gluten free diet, referred to GI registered Dietitian and come back in one year for a repeat endoscopy to determine healing. If symptoms don’t subside (or improve) after gluten free diet for a couple then return sooner.

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Matt13  I understand where you're coming from.  Seemed I was reacting to all sorts of foods there for a while, but a low histamine Paleo diet really helps.   We make histamine in our bodies as a useful  neurotransmitter (causing alertness), and also as a response in the immune system.  Histamine is made and released by Mast Cells.  Mast Cells can become hypersensitive to stimulus and release histamine easily, like having an itchy trigger finger.  Mast Cells need Thiamine Vitamin B 1 Benfotiamine in order to NOT release histamine.  Mast Cells that do not have sufficient Thiamine release histamine easily and at the slightest provocation.   Plants and other animals make histamine, too.  By removing high histamine foods from the diet, more histamine can be removed from the body.  We need Pyridoxine, Vitamin B 6, Vitamin C, Cobalamine, B12, and Thiamine B1 to make Diamine Oxidase, an enzyme that breaks down histamine.  If we don't make sufficient DAO ourselves, DAO supplements are available over-the-counter.   Removing Nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant and peppers) was very helpful.  Nightshades contain alkaloids that cause Leaky Gut Syndrome wherein large molecules of food can pass through the walls of the intestines into the bloodstream, traveling to other organs and structures where they promote inflammation.   After a few days on the low histamine Paleo diet, the Autoimmune Protocol diet, I started feeling better.  My diet was really restricted, but I felt so much better, I stuck with it.  Eating foods that were easy to digest and low in histamine allowed time for healing.  After a few weeks, I was ready to add one food at a time (two week period) back into my diet.  I had setbacks when I ran into a food my body didn't like, and had to go back to the start, but it was worth doing.  Celiac is a marathon, not a sprint.   Blood tests are not accurate measurements for various B vitamin deficiencies.  Vitamin levels in the bloodstream are different from the amount stored inside cells inside organs where they are utilized.  You can have symptoms of a deficiency yet have "normal" blood levels.  The best way to test for a B vitamin deficiency is to take it and look for health improvement.  B vitamins are easily excreted because they are water soluble.  Malabsorption in Celiac can affect all the vitamins and minerals our bodies need, not just one.  Do talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing while healing.
