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:

  1. 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!
  2. Each recipe comes with simple step-by-step directions.
  3. I use all simple, easy-to-find ingredients. You can find them all at your local grocery store.
  4. 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.

What Are The Best Apples for Baking?

There are 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

  1. You’re such a tease with that caramel apple cake – yum! I’m not usually a fan of fruit in savory, but those fritters look too good.

  2. This post is so wrong it’s right! Seriously drooling as I scrolled with all the drizzles and delicious recipes! It didn’t stop at the sweets either I cannot wait to try the spiralized apple salad. I’ve made one before but this looks like more of a slaw type feel and it sounds amazing!

  3. Oh yay – why should pumpkin get all the love this month. Apples are so delicious this time of year. We love to go apple picking several times during the season, so we are always looking for more delicious ways to use them. This is perfect!

  4. 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.

    1. 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!

  5. 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!

  6. I can’t decide which one to make first. The paleo apple cinnamon donuts are calling to me though…

  7. 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!
