Need Quick Advice On This Recipe!

[Lexi]

Ok - I want to make this for a party tomorrow. However, I'm Not Good at baking, and I need some advice.

Here is the recipe:

7 apples

4 tsps. fresh lemon juice

1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

3/4 c. fresh cranberries

1/2 c. maple syrup

1/4 c. chopped walnuts

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

1 c. gluten free oats

1/2 c. coconut oil

My question is, can I substitue crushed gluten-free corn flakes to replace the walnuts ( I don't do nuts), and can I substitute canola oil for the coconut oil because I don't have any coconut oil. Thanks!

I would just omit the nuts altogether and go ahead and use the canola oil.

I would think that your substitutions would be ok, but without knowing what you are trying to make, it's hard to answer you.

Coconut oil and Canola oil are interchangeable for some purposes, but act very differently under some conditions. The same is pretty much true of walnuts and cornflakes.

So, what is the recipe for?

[RiceGuy]

Since coconut oil is solid like butter up to about 76

I'm sorry - I can't believe I left out that one minor detail of what I am actuallly making. It is Apple Cranberry Crisp. I liked the idea of using shredded cocount. Thanks!
