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.
