**Special Tips
If you don't have apple butter on hand use this quick and easy method:
In a microwavable dish add 2 cups unsweetened applesauce, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, and 1/2 tsp cloves, mix well.  Microwave until bubbly - about 3-5 minutes. Instant apple butter. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
An easy homemade gluten-free flour mix that works well in this recipe is:
2 cups brown rice flour
2/3 cup potato starch
1/3 cup tapioca flour
