My hyperthyroidism causes me to crash with regular sugar, but sucanat keeps me stable. I read that it has glucose, fructose, and sucrose which keeps blood sugars in balance. It goes especially well in chocolate foods, like chocolate chip cookies and hot cocoa! I use it 1 for 1 in place if sugar. Has a molasses taste but doesn't overpower. More expensive than sugar but great for special treats!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14354510276228182724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1313143544219095171.post-9502455150601004492012-10-03T08:33:02.531-05:002012-10-03T08:33:02.531-05:00This looks so good!!!!

I'd make the topping the same way, lay it out on a cookie sheet, bake it for 15 min total at 350, stirring every 5 minutes. Then, shut the oven off and allow the oat topping to get really crispy. Then, place that topping over the baked apples during about the last 5 minutes of baking time. <br /><br />That could help!SnoWhitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12939257456903076156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1313143544219095171.post-49659100734202843802011-10-05T11:30:50.870-05:002011-10-05T11:30:50.870-05:00My Husband and i are both Diabetic.

I recently found there is a honey that is diabetic friendly. I would like to try to bake apple crisp with it. Tell me, with your recipe, is the crisp, really crispy?Hopeful Q-Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13893710153222142236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1313143544219095171.post-39767858852592174922011-10-04T11:10:55.180-05:002011-10-04T11:10:55.180-05:00Hi, SnoWhite!

I'd love to link to this post for Kitchen Tip Tuesdays, but I'm just not sure what part is the kitchen tip! :) Is it at the top where you wrote "To facilitate baking from scratch, having a stock of sweeteners in your pantry is a must."? Thanks for clarifying! :)<br /><br />Tammy -- who doesn't have a Google account ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1313143544219095171.post-74596984986904746052011-10-03T21:46:22.787-05:002011-10-03T21:46:22.787-05:00This is what I LOVE about your blog and your recip...This is what I LOVE about your blog and your recipes: just real food, with real ingredients, not weird artificial stuff....so refreshing! I actually thought karo corn syrup was the same thing as HFCS. I am so glad to know that they are NOT the same!!! Not a fan of agave nectar or the price. Loving this theme so far and your apple crisp, yum! this looks like a wonderful recipe to make for our company this weekend!cooperkelly4https://www.blogger.com/profile/02849137566164878759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1313143544219095171.post-2047148967805589692011-10-03T21:38:59.700-05:002011-10-03T21:38:59.700-05:00Over the past year I have really cut out all sugar...Over the past year I have really cut out all sugar except for pure maple syrup (and maple sugar), raw honey and coconut palm sugar.

I don't think I've baked much with honey.<br /><br />Amen on the artificial sweeteners! I haven't tried sucanat either. Have you tried Stevia? I don't care for it myself, find it too overpowering (i.e. I can't taste the food it's in, even if I decrease the recommended amount by a LOT). Have also heard mixed reviews about whether it's safe (fertility issues in men?)<br /><br />Another note on agave...agave & aloe are related to the allium family (onions & garlic). I couldn't figure out why I was getting such terrible stomach aches when I would eat baked goods people made with agave...until I found out it was related to the allium I am allergic to!!Lisa @ Life is Crazy Beautifulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15035178264541776275noreply@blogger.com
