Spelt doesn't work for me, so I subbed in teff flour, which added a nice, deep flavor to my otherwise gluten-free crust. Also put in raspberry preserves for apricot and it made for a nice combo. Topped with caramel sauce and/or ice cream... YUM.

Spelt is a grain that predates modern wheat. Through selective breeding Spelt which has lower gluten was bred to become the high gluten, modern wheat that we use today. I went wheat free for 4 years to heal my digestion and now can tolerate lower gluten spelt occasionally. It behaves like wheat and is a wheat variation. Sometimes you will see it called an "Ancient Grain" It has a delicious nutty flavor and makes awesome cakes, cookies and pies. Try it if you can find it in your health food store.
Bob's Red Mill carries it and for a sprouted version, that is even more digestible, One Degree sprouted spelt is great.

Laura, thank you for a fantastic post, Very informative. I just purchased One Degree Sprouted Spelt and made the Olive Oil Cake (on this site) by Kim Boyce and loved it. So, would you be willing to share what you bake with spelt that was great? Thanks in advance, Millette
