What apples are best for baking?
I have a lot of apple recipes, and I get asked this question often. Most apples are fine to use when baking, but the more sweet-tart apples really showcase their flavors better in baking. Next time you bake, try Pink Lady, Fuji, Granny Smith, or Jonagold apples!
You will love these apples in this bundt apple cake recipe. Then you must try this gluten free caramel apple cake or these gluten free French apple cake recipes!
Finally made this. Omg it’s so super delicious! Light and fluffyand super moist. I used extra light tasting olive oil."

Ingredient notes:

- Gluten free flour blend - I tested this recipe using Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Flour Blend and King Arthur's Measure for Measure Gluten Free Blend. That doesn't mean others will not work. I just have not tested other flours.
- Xanthan gum - If your gluten free flour blend doesn’t contain xanthan gum or guar gum, please add one teaspoon.
- Butter - To make this recipe dairy-free, substitute the butter for vegan butter.
- Almond milk - I used almond milk, but other dairy-free kinds of milk will work I do not recommend canned coconut milk.
- Brown sugar - You can also use coconut sugar if you prefer a lower glycemic sweetener.
Top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream and dust lightly with a little cinnamon. You will love how easy this gluten free apple bundt cake recipe is to make from scratch!

Recipe step-by-step directions:

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350º F. In a large bowl, add your dry ingredients and whisk to blend.

Step 2: Add your wet ingredients to a bowl and whisk to blend.

Step 3: Pour your wet ingredients over the dry ingredients. Add the apple chunks and walnuts.

Step 4: Mix the ingredients gently. If you overmix the batter, your cake is going to turn out denser. My motto is to mix until the batter is "just barely mixed."

Step 5: Add the batter to a greased bundt pan and use your spoon to spread the mixture out evenly. I greased my pan with a coconut oil spray. You can use butter or another light oil to grease the bundt pan.
Step 6: Bake for 45 minutes at 350º F. Check your cake with a toothpick to make sure it is baked in the middle. Remove from the oven, tip the cake upside down and let it drop out of the bundt pan. Allow cooling on a wire cooling rack.
Toppings ideas:
- Drizzle icing over the top. It is easy to make with ½ cup powdered sugar and a tablespoon of water. Adjust the ratio until you get the desired thickness of icing.
- Stripe piped frosting from the outside of the cake to the middle, repeating all the way around the cake.
- Dust powdered sugar over the top.
- Drizzle warm caramel over the top, or make a caramel glaze.

Expert Tips and Recipe FAQ:
Insert a toothpick into the middle of the bundt cake. If it comes back clean, the cake is ready. If you see crumbs or batter, your bundt needs to bake longer.
I make sure to use a spray coconut oil for my bundt cake pan. I spray it twice just to make sure I don't miss a spot. There is nothing more frustrating than having the cake stick to the pan!
You can bake this in a cake pan, or make it in a bread loaf pan.
You can make this recipe dairy-free by using butter. This recipe already calls for a non-dairy milk.
You can make this bundt cake nut-free by omitting the walnuts and using a different non-dairy milk like flaxseed milk.

I made this for my family this past weekend. I'm the only one who 'needs' to eat gluten free. They were so impressed with how it didn't have the taste or feel of gluten free! I loved this recipe. It was easy to follow, smelled and tasted delicious. I will definitely make this again. Thanks Sandi
Sandi Gaertner
I am so glad everyone enjoyed it! If you have time, I would appreciate if you could give the recipe a star rating so everyone knows it was good. Thank you!

I have one family member who has a nut allergy. Can I substitute low-fat regular milk for the almond milk or will that affect the texture? Looking forward to trying this.
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Karen, you can definitely use regular milk in this recipe. Enjoy!
