Grilled Apple Slices

I am one of those people that needs to have a bunch of apples from the orchard in the fall. Since I learned about the Celiac my baking has lessened and well a lot of apples are still in the fridge!

We were grilling quite a bit because the weather warmed up and I thought, why not apples.

Slice apples thickly and place in a bowl of lemon water so they don't brown.

I mixed 1/4 cup melted butter, 1/4 cup brown sugar some cinnamon and nutmeg along with 1 Tbsp lemon juice. This was way too much sauce for the apples so next time I would cut it down to 2 Tbsp instead of 1/4 cup.

Drain the apples and place on the cleanest part of your grill. I say that, because our grill is a couple years old and just isn't as clean as I would like it to be.

After they start to brown flip them. Oh and they will stick a bit so if next time I would spray them with PAM. I wouldn't brush them with oil or butter, too much chance for flare up. After they are nicely tanned, dip them in the sauce and place back on the grill, flipping sides after a min or so. You want caramelized apples not burnt (ok ok I burnt a few).

Serve with a side of sauce and whip cream.

BTW the best way I have found to clean the inside of my gas grill is to leave the lid on down and all the burners on high for about 5 min. Of course don't go to far, you don't want a fire or the lid to melt off the hinges!

I used to fry apple slices like this. I'd cut them with the peel still on, fry in butter, and then after they were browned, I'd add a bit of brown sugar and cinnamon. Yum! Can't do butter now so not sure how they'd be without it. I could use coconut oil I guess.

Be careful with your grills, there might be gluten from old sauces burnt on there that needs to be THOROUGHLY cleaned before use.

Thankfully I am the one that did almost all the shopping and almost all the cooking/grilling so I know what was on my grill and thankfully its clean. Plus I burn the heck out of it before I cook on it, nothing lives through that! :ph34r: BUT you are so right, it isn't something I would have really thought about.

I am a bit worried about grills though, we are going to a bbq on Sunday and I am so paranoid. It will be the first time since going gluten-free that I will be eating at someone else's house.

Yes, we have eaten many an apple slice fried this way. We used to eat them for breakfast all the time. I swear I was June Cleaver reincarnated for awhile, I cooked almost every meal from scratch and complete meals at that! I am so over that!!! Just cannot do it anymore.

You can always buy replacement grill parts for your grill too. Like the part you actually grill on.

Me too. When I was single, I was always baking things. I made hand painted chocolates. Would stay up all night cooking stuff sometimes. Now I just give up. Have had so many gluten-free flops that I do precious little baking and don't mind spending a fortune on pre-made stuff.

Breakfasts at our house are usually quick. Maybe 2 or 3 times a year I will make pancakes. Occasionally there will be muffins I baked the night before. But usually it is cereal or toast, maybe with some microwaved bacon or sausage. We're allergic to eggs.

      @Ginger38, Diabetes and Celiac often go hand in hand.  Having more than one autoimmune disease is common with Celiac.  I'd err on the side of caution and go gluten free.   I did not want to go on insulin, either.  I got my diabetes under control by following the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (Dr. Sarah Ballantyne).  My diet now does include carbs.   We're supporting you through this difficult time.

      @Ginger38,  I've been there with horrible symptoms and diarrhea accidents and diabetes and the insulin conundrum!  My doctors were just as frustrating!   I had nutritional deficiencies.  I know your doctors refuse to test for this.  So did mine, saying "I can't make money prescribing vitamins."  Some members say a naturopathic doctor is more open to testing for deficiencies.  Remember not to start supplementing until after testing is done.  Otherwise the supplements will raise your blood levels falsely.   I had studied Nutrition at university, so I decided to supplement essential vitamins and minerals.  A B Complex, extra Thiamine (Benfotiamine) for the diabetes, magnesium and...

      Though trying to diligently eat gluten free, recent bloodwork was bad so searching for culprits.  Eat lot of (preferably mixed) nuts.  Most allergen labels say may be processed on equpment that also processes wheat, etc.  Finally found ONE kind (unsalted mixed) at BJ's.  Wessley (their store brand) that did not contain that warning.  Says in large letters "A GLUTEN FREE FOOD."  Well, all nuts are a gluten free FOOD!  Have been eating and now wonder if this is intentionally decieving.  So stopped eating until find culprit.  Nuts are so good for protein and fiber (especially if trying to not eat meat).  'Tis so frustrating.  Thanks to above, I'll look into Tierra Farms.

      Despite being very diligent about eating gluten free, my recent bloodwork was bad.  So been on a mission to find the culprit(s).  During Covid my daughter found "certified gluten free" Yasso mint chocolate chip yogurt bars at Costco.  I was elated and have been eating them since.  When delving into possible culprits I discovered that the boxes with 12 bars at both Costco and BJ's no longer say "certified gluten free."  But the boxes with 4 bars at groceries and Target still say "certified gluten free."  Contacted the manufacturer and was told to go by what the box says.  So guess different machinery is used.  Was also told they were in the process of changing boxes.  Will be interesting to see...
