Apple Crisp With Steel Cut Oats

I'm a newly diagnosed celiac and trying to navigate through a new way to eat and make old favorites that I'd hate to lose. I was wondering if anybody out there has substituted steel cut oats in an apple crisp topping? I haven't been able to find any gluten-free-Oats where I live other than the steel cut type. If so, did you have to adjust your cooking time since they take so much longer to cook and use so much more moisture?

Personally I wouldn't trust steel cut oats unless they are specifically gluten-free...not sure how they'd work for a topping for apple crisp either. I've only been gluten free for 7 months and have not yet tried oats.

Roben Ryberg has a recipe in The Gluten Free Kitchen for apple crisp with a streusel topping and I found it here (scroll down to message #4). I've been wanting to try it but haven't yet. There are also some other ideas and links to recipes, too.

steel cut oats cook very differently from rolled oats (they need much more time, and often more liquid).

I make a crumb topping for baked apples (think apple pie without the crust) with a 1:1 sugar/flour ratio, a bit of cinnamon/cloves/nutmeg, and cut with enough butter to make it crumbly. For the flour, I often use brown rice and millet, but many flours would work with this.

this question was out a bit ago. Someone suggested Quinoa flakes. I haven't tried it, but is sounds good.

I went ahead and tried it using the bobs redmill gluten-free steel cut oats. I upped the oven temp. to 375 degrees instead of the 350 I usually bake on. The topping was deliciously crunchy, and a little chewier than the regular one I made pre-diagnosis with the quick oats. My DH actually said he preferred it this way, and begged me to make it again (but he also loves steel cut oats). Our kids gobbled it up too :)

Could you post a recipe of this? I have those oats and it sounds good!

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice. Additionally, getting the right amount of protein for my body weight helped significantly in my body's healing process ... along with supplementing with enough of all the vitamins and minerals ... especially Zinc and Magnesium. I went from 70kg to 82kg in a year. Protein with each meal 3 times daily, especially eggs at breakfast made the difference. I'm not sure whether iodine was a problem for me, but I can tolerate iodine no problem now. I'm off Dapsone and feel great. Not a sign of an itch. So there is hope. I'm not advocating for the use of Dapsone, but it can bring a huge amount of relief despite it's effect on red blood cells. The itch is so distracting and debilitating. I tried many times to get off it, it wasn't until I implemented the changes above and was consistent that I got off it. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.
