Folded Apple Crisp

My son was recently diagnosed with Oral Allergy Syndrome. This is a relatively benign allergic reaction in and around the mouth that can cause itching, sore throat, swelling of the tongue and hives. From my research and what the allergist said, it is not anaphylactic. (Sigh of relief). 

However, my already picky son just essentially had most of the fruits and veggies that he likes to eat, eliminated from his diet. Oral Allergy Syndrome is not an allergy to the actual fruit or vegetable, but to the pollen from Birch. In summary, people with Oral Allergy Syndrome always have seasonal allergies. As a side note, my son complained of a sore throat for months. I had him tested for everything under the sun with nothing turning up. I thought it was just another one of his tricks to not have to eat. The way we figured it out was that one day his sister told him to rub a soft fuzzy peach on his face and he broke out in hives. It finally clicked that this is what we were dealing with. 

The up side to all of this is that the reaction is only to raw fruits and veggies. Thus far, it's all my son's favorites: apples, peaches, carrots. Grrr. Once you cook the veggies though it transforms the proteins and the reaction does not happen anymore. 

Hence, this super easy and delicious Folded Apple Crisp!
