Many people are looking to improve their health by eliminating wheat, corn, and/or dairy from their diets. I have been experimenting with recipes that are free of wheat, corn, and dairy for several years. I've created "Ideal Ingredients" to share not only what I have learned, but also to share a delicious and healthy way of eating!

Special Note: If you are also avoiding eggs, you may substitute the following for 1 egg in my baked goods recipes.
1 egg = 1/3 cup applesauce OR 1/4 cup mashed banana OR 1 T ground flaxseed + 3 T water

Aunt Lula's Apple Crisp (revised)

My great-great Aunt Lula was a lady of the South - strong, stylish, gentile, a little mischievous, and a great cook! I can't tell you how many times I enjoyed her recipe for apple crisp as I was growing up. Served warm from the oven with a scoop of vanilla ice cream melting on the top - heaven! And, now, I have revised it for my own family to enjoy minus the wheat. I hope it brings warmth, joy and a taste of the South to your home as it has mine.
Ingredients
4-6 medium apples (I like Granny Smith)
sugar
1 T lemon juice
1 cup whole oats
1/4 cup milled golden flaxseed
1/4 cup tapioca flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup Smart Balance (or butter), softened
1 t cinnamon
a dash of nutmeg
a dash of salt

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Peel, core, and thinly slice apples. Sprinkle with lemon juice and sugar. Place in 10x6 or 11x7 dish.

Combine oats, flaxseed, tapioca flour, brown sugar, Smart Balance, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Sprinkle over sliced apples.

Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes. Makes 8 servings.

    I appreciate those who've gone before me. Aunt Lula was also an excellent seamstress who made matching dresses once for my mother and me!
