I gathered some of my best tried and true gluten free apple recipes for you so you can find them all in one place. If you love baking with apples, here are delicious apple cakes, pies, tarts, and more!! These are my best fall apple recipes on the blog!
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 ten different organic heirloom apples each week.
Why These Recipes Are Great:
- If you love apples, these gluten free apple recipes are not only easy to make, but they taste so good friends and family will never know they are gluten free!
- Each recipe comes with simple step-by-step directions.
- I use all simple, easy-to-find ingredients. You can find them all at your local grocery store.
- All of these recipes are freezable, so you can easily make a double batch and freeze any extras.
When I was young, our family used to go apple picking, filling 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 isn’t a nearby place to go apple picking. We rely on one of our favorite local farmer’s market vendors to keep our fruit basket full!
If you are new to gluten free baking, you will want to look at my Gluten Free Pantry Guide to know how to use the gluten free ingredients in these recipes.

Seriously, it is apple month already?!! Can you believe how fast the year has flown by? I can’t complain though because I do love apples. I really like that you have included some savory recipes in this roundup.
Thank you so much Dahn. I really need to make a few more savory apple recipes. The problem is my kids eat them so quickly!
Apples are such a wonderfully versatile ingredient. I love how they can be used in both sweet and savory dishes, and lets not forget cider!
Thank you so much Elizabeth…I do need a cider recipe!

I love all of these recipes but my favorites are the galette and the donuts! I make apple galette almost every week in fall, it’s kind of a family tradition now!
