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.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
