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!
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)
Happy Baking!

I am started gluten free as part of the Paleo diet due to being overweight and close to diabetic. It has been almost 3 years and I’ve lost 60 pounds. I feel better and have more energy with this lifestyle. I also have two of my children allergic to wheat and dairy, so there’s that too. This blender would help us continue our healthy lifestyle and teach my kids how to eat healthy.
I am gluten free because my whole family (including myself) has celiac disease. I would love this blentec blender because it would make baking, cooking, and canning all of our food so much easier!
After years of having problems with swallowing and a very swollen esophagus, I went on an elimination diet and then slowly added foods back into my diet to see what affected my swallowing. I discovered that gluten-containing foods made my throat and esophagus swell and become very painful. I have been gluten free since then. I have found that since that diagnosis, and by making my own recipes, I am using more “gadgets” to make my life easier (and also a lot more fun to cook and bake!). I would really enjoy this blender and would love the adventure of discovering new ways to prepare foods in my kitchen!
This would be so much fun!!
My son is 10 and has celiac and Down Syndrome. He loves your recipes and I would love to be able to make him smoothies, soups, and be able to grind nuts!
Roxann Lewis,
I have not been diagnosed with celiac disease, but gluten intolerance. Jules flour and recipes make eating a joy again! I can see why the Blendtec would make things faster and easier. Thanks Jules for such great ways to eat!!!
I am gluten feee because I have an autoimmune disease and I am hoping being gf will help reduce my symptoms. I’ve been wanting a blender lately me this but it is too expensive. I have a nice blender but it doesn’t do as much as the one being given away does. Please pick me !
My son has multiple food allergies. I am always looking for new recipes to make his limited diet exciting. Jules cook books and mixes have been a blessing to us. The Blendtec blender would be an extremely helpful tool in the pursuit of preparing delicious, healthy and safe recipes.
I can always count on recipes using Jules’ flour mix and recipes. I currently do not have a blender or stand mixer, so mixing dough is challenging at times. This Blendtec blender would make it so much easier to make all of these yummy recipes. I have been baking gluten free for 11 years for my autistic son and my gluten sensitivity.
Gluten free since an abdominal surgery made me intolerant of gluten and dairy. A Blendtec would make my daily smoothies extra smooth!
My daughter has celiac disease and this would be great for her to have at college to help her eat well.
I was diagnosed with Celiac’s Disease about 6 years ago. Life changed drastically, so much so that I came to hate the process of trying to feed myself and my family. This blender would be a “God-send” because if I want to eat I have to plan and prepare. This blender would make preparing and cooking so much easier. You cannot just go to the fast food place to pick up food anymore. Even at restaurants you may not be able to eat what you are really hungry for but have to settle for what they can prepare gluten free.
This bread looks so amazing! I am gluten-free because gluten is a huge trigger for my psoriasis and rumitoid arthritus. And this blended would be so amazing to have to help the process of marking and preparing meals for my family of 5 so much quicker and simpler! Thank you so much for the amazingiveaway and opportunity to win!
I cook gluten free for my daughter who has celiac. A blendtec would help me sneak more veggies into her diet ????
Hi Jules, I am gluten free because I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease at age 58, after years of always having tummy troubles! I love your flour, and love your recipes! Your products were some of the very first I tried after my diagnosis, and I still love them. Thank you for sharing your love and wisdom with all of us! I would love to win the blender, it would be a great addition to my kitchen!
This bread looks amazing!! Entered!
My son is allergic to wheat so we eat gluten free. I would love to make bread and ice cream with a blendtec.
I’m gluten free because I have gluten & wheat intolerance, among many allergies. Eating allergy free is tough. The blend tech should help in preparing meals. can’t wait to try the apple bread recipe. Thanks for the give away.
I stopped eating gluten about 3 years ago to help heal my stomach. I still stick to gluten free eating and when I don’t my mood let’s me know my body isn’t happy. This blender would be such a help in my kitchen as I make most all my meals gluten free and take them on the road with me. My husband and I are truck drivers and like to stay away from the fast food that is so prevalent at truck stops.
I am GF because I have Hashimoto’s disease (an auto-immune disease)and many allergies, gluten And lactose, being most prevalent. I make a lot of smoothies and soup and this blender is definitely more powerful than what I now have to use….winning this would make my many hours in the kitchen so much easier.
