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!
Gluten Free Apple Bread Recipe
This healthier Gluten Free Apple Bread is delicious with chunky apples or blended apples; made in a mixing bowl or a blender! So versatile and so yummy any way you slice it!
Ingredients
- 1 cup (8 oz.) Greek yogurt (or non-dairy or dairy sour cream or any plain yogurt – I used Silk® Coconut Greek Style Yogurt)
- 1 cup granulated cane or 3/4 unrefined coconut palm sugar
- 2 large eggs (or substitute like 6 Tbs. aquafaba)
- 1 Tbs. pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups gfJules® Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/4 tsp. sea salt
- 1 ½ cups tart or semi-sweet apples like Gala, Fuji or Granny Smith
- ¼ – ½ cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Peel & core apples, cut in quarters & place in blender (Blendtec WildSide+ or FourSide jar) and secure lid.
“Pulse” 8-10 times until apples are chopped. Place chopped apple into a separate bowl and set aside.
Add pecans to Twister jar and secure lid. “Pulse” 4-5 times and set aside.
Add yogurt, sugar, eggs and vanilla extract to blender and secure lid. “Pulse” 8-10 times until incorporated.
Add baking soda, baking powder and salt and 1/3 of flour and “Pulse” 3-4 times.
Add an additional 1/3 of flour and secure lid. “Pulse” 3-4 times incorporate. Repeat with remaining flour.
Add chopped apple and pecans, if desired, and “Pulse” 8-10 times.*
Spoon the batter into a lightly oiled 9×5 inch loaf pan.
Bake at 350°F for 60 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean.
*Note: recipe may be prepared by hand chopping apples and pecans for bread with larger apple chunks; may also be mixed using traditional mixer method instead of using a blender.

Who doesn’t love apple anything! This recipe is delicious!!!
That bread looks yummy! Your flour is all that I use…and your pizza dough is fabulous.
I love gfJules flour and use it for Everything. I can’t do without it. It makes the best simple bread, the best lemon bars, cookies, and even the smoothest white sauce. But wheat and gluten aren’t the only food intolerances I have so the Blendtec would be a blessing to make nut butters, soups, sauces, and my favorite – hummus.
My husband has Celiac so we are a GF family. This fancy blender would make everything easier. I struggle to blend sauces and dressings together in my tiny food processor and it just doesn’t cut it. I am intreagued by the bread making possibilities. We’ve been GF for 6 years and I’ve never ventured into breads. I miss bread.
My family is gluten free for our health. My daughter is sensitive to wheat, oranges, and soy. Since taking those out of the diet, her seasonal eczema, allergies, and cough have disappeared!!! The Blendtec would make preparing food so much easier. Thanks for the chance!!!
Being gluten-free has helped get rid of my brain fog and helped my digestive health. Two of my six kids are gluten sensitive as well. This summer, our while family began eating gluten-free while at home to make food prep easier and safer. I’m loving having all of us eat gluten-free at home and any tools I can have to make the journey quicker and more convenient are a welcome addition to my kitchen!
Thank you so much! Cant wait to try this
My son and I were diagnosed with celiac 13 years ago. I had to bake my own bread then since there really weren’t any gf breads available in my local grocery store. This blender and Jules’s mixes would have been a dream come true. Now things are sooo different thanks to great people like Jules! What a great giveaway just before Christmas! Fingers crossed! Thanks!
Discovered gluten was the cause of my misery two years ago. Hubby recently followed and his health has improved as well. I need a blender to help with food prep; currently I borrow my daughter-in-law’s machine. Thanks for the give-away!
we are gluten free because my daughter and husband are allergic to wheat. (anaphalactic) My daughter is 6, and I hate to have her feel left out at all. So I try to make all our own baked goods. This would be a huge blessing in helping me to help her not feel left out! Thank you!
I have celiac and a blender would make food prep so much easier and quicker.
I have Celiac and blenders make life so much easier. I can make everything healthy and safe!
I would love to have this for my daughter in college who is struggling with Gastroparesis and having a hard time with foods soft enough to digest. What a blessing this would be for her last two college years.
My not so great blender broke! I am so missing having a blender. I’ve heard these are the best! What an amazing giveaway
I was diagnosed with celiac disease 5 years ago after nearly dying. I need to find ways to cook goodd homemade gf food and I believe the Blendtec could help me do that! Thank you Jules, for all you do!
What a great prize! Allergy free means a lot of make from scratch here!
I’d love to use the blendtec to make my own pesto for pesto bread and the possibilities are endless of how many things it will make easier. I’ll prob use it to make my own coconut milk that I use in my baking as well.
I just started eating GF about 4 months ago when I learned about leaky guts. I have many AI conditions and I am hoping that eating GF will help with those conditions and symptoms. I would love to win this blender to help me in preparing all the new GF recipes I am finding on this website and the internet.
I am a first time 32 year old mom with Crohn’s disease to a beautiful daughter and want to pass on good eating habits to my daughter for a lifetime of good nutrition. Having this blender will make it easier to make good gluten free food for her and for my family and will be able to spend more time with her. I have chosen to go gluten free not only for her but to show her that you can still have really great food and be healthy. Since going gluten free my Crohn’s has been in remission and I feel that good nutrition (gluten free) has played a huge part in this.
Working on becoming gf for my son’s autism and my Crohn’s disease. Food processor recently broke, so this would be a great help!
I would love to win this Blendtec blender. Ive been CD for 30 years and this would be a great product for many uses for this amazing product would also free up space in my kitchen!
And using GF jules products in the blender will add that even more special!
