Place the apples in a baking pan. Remove the calendula petals from the flower bud and sprinkle over apples.
Melt rice syrup (or maple syrup) and butter (or ghee) together in a sauce pan. Stir constantly.
Add 1 Tsp each of cinnamon and nutmeg.
Using a fork or whisk, blend the eggs and milk until frothy. Mix in the rice syrup mixture into the eggs and milk. Whisk this for a minute.
Pour the mixture over the calendula and apples. Sprinkle a little more cinnamon and nutmeg on top and then bake for about 7-10 min at 350 F. The apples should be soft and the egg mixture should result in a custard texture.
Put a couple whole calendula flowers on top for presentation (YES, you can eat the buds too!) Enjoy!
