Starting July 8, 2011 we removed from Sam's diet: Soy, wheat, corn, sesame, dairy, shrimp, added sugar, sweet fruits like melons and grapes, eggs, white rice, food dyes, and non-organic foods. In January 2012, on advice from our naturopath, we introduced sweet fruits as long as they are in season and organic. Sam is amazing at eating well! July 27, 2013: Mom and daughter are getting on the bandwagon! Oct. 11, 2016: Mom is making even more dramatic changes including no sugar or baked goods....

Gluten-Free Dairy-Free GFCF Apple Roses
About 2.5 cups Pamela's flour mix
1/2 cup cooking oil
1/2 cup milk substitute (I used Trader Joe's unsweetened coconut beverage)
2-3 apples with pink or red skin
1 lemon
Cinnamon and sugar
Oil Crust:
Preheat oven to 400. Quickly mix flour, oil, and milk substitute in a bowl using your hands (I wear disposable gloves). Don't overwork the dough, and it should look "marbled", not uniform in color. It will be on the damp side. If it's soggy add a little more flour. If making a pie, press half the mixture into a pie plate. You can also roll it out between sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap but keep in mind this is wetter than traditional dough.
If making tarts or roses, press a walnut-sized ball of dough into a parchment-lined muffin tin. For the roses, sprinkle the inside of each tart liberally with cinnamon-sugar.
Core and thinly slice the apples, add a little water and juice of one lemon, and microwave for about 2 minutes or until the slices are pliable but not falling apart. (See video below.)
Lay out about eight apple slices in a row on the counter, overlapping them as shown in the video. Roll up the slices (it will be harder to keep them together than in the video which uses puff pastry to help, but just do the best you can and they will look great) and place the roll of slices in the dough in the muffin tin. It should look like a rose. Sprinkle the tops generously with cinnamon-sugar and bake for about 20 minutes. Remove the parchment muffin liners and cool apple roses on a rack.
See this video for how to roll up the roses. She uses puff pastry so just ignore that part. I also didn't use apricot preserves, and I think other apples are prettier and tastier than red delicious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rGrwvEjZIQ
