National Apple Month
Tis’ the month we celebrate all things apples! Apples are finally in season and there are so many tasty varieties to try! Our local farmer’s market has an apple vendor in the fall and they have at least 15 different organic heirloom apples.
Our family loves to buy some each week so we can enjoy their crisp sweet flavors!
These 10 best gluten free apple recipes will help ensure you have easy recipes to try for National Apple Month!”
I can’t wait to share these easy gluten free apple recipes with you. When I was young, our family used to go apple picking and we would fill up bags of crisp apples. When we left, I remember always having a stomach ache from eating too many apples!
Now that we are in the California Bay Area, there really isn’t a close-by place to go apple picking. We rely on one of our favorite vendors at our local farmer’s market to keep our fruit basket full!
What can I use apples for?
This is the question I had in mind when creating this collection of apple recipes. Apples are often thought of as a lunch box or snack treat. Apples are delicious in both sweet and savory recipes!
Can you freeze apples?
You can freeze apples, but they get pretty mushy when you thaw them out. Lemon juice can prevent the apple slices from turning brown. If you want to preserve apples, try some of these easy tips to preserve apples. You can also try your hand at dehydrating apples.
What are the best apples for baking?
There are so many great apple varieties like the Gravenstein apples in the photo above! I tend to use more tart apples in my gluten free baking. Here are some good types of apples to try:
- Gravenstein
- Granny Smith
- Fuji
- Pink Lady
Let’s start with the sweet apple recipes!

Savory Apple Recipes
Delicious savory apple recipes.
Have you tried Daikon? It looks like a giant white carrot in markets. Don't be fooled by its appearance, daikon is a mild radish, and it is full of flavor!
This Daikon Apple Salad really showcases the flavors in a way your whole family will love. You don't have to spiralize the daikon, but if you are in the market for a good spiralizer that won't fall apart after a few uses, I love this spiralizer!
Okay, you know I had to go there....everyone has an opinion on Brussels sprouts. Are you on team Brussels sprout? I am, but my family won't touch them...unless they are in this simple Brussels sprout salad recipe!
Try it and let me know what your family thinks!
This wouldn't be a good roundup of savory apple recipes if I didn't include this simple Kale and Apple Salad. I was heartbroken when California Cafe closed. The chef shared his recipe with me during an interview and it has been one of the most popular salad recipes on Fearless Dining.
The secret to this recipe is kale massage. If you don't know what that is, you need to check out this recipe. It makes your kale super sweet!
I had to include a scone recipe...this delicious gluten free bacon apple scone is made with a new flour I tried made out of chestnuts (you know, the whole chestnuts roasting over an open fire thing.) You can find it online, it is slightly sweet with a nutty roasted flavor. Give it a try!
Here is a non-salad savory apple recipe...another gem, this delicious gluten free kabocha squash apple fritters recipe is full of flavor. If you haven't tried kabocha squash yet, you will love the nutty sweetness!
Well, there you have it, my favorite gluten free apple recipes of all time.
