Ingredients:
- 4 Granny Smith apples, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1-1/2 cups orange juice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon ground clove
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour (or make your own gluten-free baking flour mix)
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1-1/2 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder
- 1 egg
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans

Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
