Gluten Free Apple Bread Recipe, anyone? ‘Tis the season for all things pumpkin, cranberry, apple, warm and spicy! You might have already seen my new post: Gluten Free Cranberry-Orange Quick Bread – Mmmmmm! Well this is another recipe where you’ll want to do the proverbial dog-ear (how do you do that on mobile?!).

My Gluten Free Apple Bread recipe is one of those “have it your way” recipes that you can spice up or down to suit your taste; you can also make the apples smooth and saucy so you barely notice them, or big and chunky so there’s no doubt this recipe is screaming “I love apple!”. And by the way, it is AH-mazing with my homemade apple butter recipe. You gotta try it.

I’ve partnered with Blendtec® to show you how versatile and yummy this gluten free apple bread can be, no matter how you choose to make it.

And yes, you can make it in a blender! How’s that for handy?

Whatever method you choose, it’s a far healthier than traditional oil-based quick breads like zucchini bread — in fact, there’s no oil at all! Use Greek yogurt or what I use — Silk Greek Style vegan coconut milk yogurt alternative. Click here to see a video of me using it in this recipe!

You can even sub out the sugar for unrefined coconut palm if you like. One reader said she even used Swerve with success in this recipe.

I told you this was a “have it your way” kind of recipe!

Slicing Gluten Free Apple Bread
This loaf of gluten free apple bread was made in the Blendtec for a smooth batter with no apple chunks.

 

I promise you’re going to love it any way you bake it — even as muffins (if that’s your way); heck, make it several times and make it different every time. Even the kind of apple you choose will influence the flavor.

The one thing you don’t want to do though is use the wrong gluten free flour. NO bean flours here. NO gritty brown rice flour. NO funky flour taste. Use my gfJules™ Gluten Free All Purpose Flour and everyone you share this recipe with will love it, gluten free or not.

You may have seen my eHow video showing you how to make this recipe using a standard mixer (if not, watch the video by clicking my photo above); here’s how to make this scrumptious quick bread even quicker using an amazingly versatile Blendtec® blender from start to finish! (note: an ordinary blender won’t be able to mix this batter as well)

  1. I made this beautiful apple bread today. What are your recommendations for cooling? In the pan? Out of the pan? What about freezing options? Thanks!

    • Hi Emily, I’m so glad you baked this gluten free apple bread recipe today! It’s so fragrant and yummy! I think it’s best to let it cool in the pan only about 5 minutes or so, then transfer out so it can fully cool on a wire rack. Once fully cooled you can freeze it a freezer bag. ENJOY!

  2. If you love apple flavor, try adding a teaspoon of dry apple cider drink mix to your batter. You can find it in stores by the hot cocoa mixes. It really pumps up the flavor in baked goods without adding moisture or changing the texture.

  3. Hi, I have been doing some of your recipes and was interested to ask if I can substitute the sugars for low calorie sugar for diabetic people I know? Thank you.

    • Hi Anita, I assume you’re talking about Swerve and Just Like Sugar and the like? I’ve experimented with some of those and the recipes have always turned out just fine. Just be sure to use the ones that are for baking and measure for baking as well.

    • Apple bread can be so delicious – either with or without chunks. Can’t wait to start up in full-on bake-everything-with-apples mode!!!
