Gluten Free Apple Bread

Gluten Free Apple Bread is full of warm yummy goodness in every bite. It has a middle layer of brown sugar, butter and apples and is loaded with flavor from store bought apple pie spice. Gluten Free Apple bread is everything a fall loaf should be.

When fall starts, I think all things apple. Growing up in Massachusetts, we would go to the most amazing apple orchard every September. The apple orchard we went to had so many varieties of apples. They also made the most amazing home made cider and apple cider donuts.

Due to my Celiac diagnosis, I cannot eat apple cider donuts. I have tried to bring back one of my childhood favorites in this gluten free apple bread recipe. I try to recreate recipes I have grown up with and love into something that is easy and enjoyable to eat. If you enjoy this recipe, try my Moist Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins.

When you bake gluten free apple bread it’s a good idea to use a more robust apple so that it holds up when baking. I prefer to use granny smith apples for this recipe, but you can use any variety that you like. Jonagold apples and Honeycrisp apples would also be great to use.

First of all, I always peel the apple before cutting into pieces. You do not want apple skin in my apple bread.

Secondly, I use a couple of basic kitchen tools in this recipe. First, always make sure you you use a good quality bread pan. The two brands that I personally use are Nordic Ware and USA bread pan. Secondly, a great hand mixer is a must.

Here’s what you’ll need to make this Gluten free Apple Pie Bread recipe:

INGREDIENTS NEEDED FOR GLUTEN FREE APPLE BREAD-

• 1 Granny Smith Apple
• 2 Tbsp unsalted Butter
• 1/4 cup brown sugar

Dry Ingredients

• 1 1/2 Cup Cup 4 Cup gluten free flour
• 1/2 Tsp Baking Powder
• 3/4 Cup brown Sugar
• 2 Tsp Apple Pie Spice (can be found at most local grocery stores)
• 1 Tsp Baking Soda
• 3/4 Cup Granulated Sugar

Wet Ingredients-

• 1/2 Cup Buttermilk
• 1/2 Cup Full Fat Sour Cream
• 2 Large Eggs
• 2 Large Eggs1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE SAUTEED APPLES-

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray the bread pan with non stick cooking spray. I use the butter non stick cooking spray for baking. Please make sure it’s GF.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray the bread pan with non-stick cooking spray. I use the butter flavored non-stick cooking spray for baking. Make sure it says Gluten-Free.
2. Wash and peel on Granny Smith apple. Cut the apple into small pieces.
3. In a small non stick skillet, melt two tablespoons of butter on low heat. Once the butter is melted, add the apples into the skillet. Sauce the apples until soft about 5-10 minutes.

4. Once the apples are soft, remove the apples from the skillet and add to a bowl. Add 1/4 cup brown sugar, and stir until the apples have warmed the brown sugar and the apples and brown sugar are thoroughly combined.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ASSEMBLING WET AND DRY INGREDIENTS-

5. Sift 1 1/2 cups of flour: combine 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 3/4 cup brown sugar, and add 2 Tsp apple pie spice. Then add 1 Tsp baking soda and 1/2 Tsp baking powder. Stir until mixed together.

6. Add the two eggs, 1/2 cup Buttermilk, 1/2 cup sour cream -and 1/2 cup vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. Use a hand mixer to thoroughly combine all the ingredients. Make sure the eggs, buttermilk and sour cream are at room temperature.

7. The batter will be on the thicker side. Pour half the mixture in the bread pan(make sure you use the non stick cooking spray) and then add the apple mixture to the bread pan. Then add the remaining mixture to the bread pan.

8. Bake in the oven until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Check at 50 minutes and check every 5 minutes until the gluten free apple bread is done. If you find the top is browning too fast at the end, cover with foil to allow it to fully cook in the center. Mine usually takes about an hour in my oven.

Optional: Of course you can always sprinkle a little bit of granulated sugar on the top.

9. You can make this gluten free apple bread extra special by buying a special bread pan that has a beautiful ornate design on it. This is something that would make a nice gift for the holidays. There is something so very special about homemade gifts. It really does come from the heart.

10. Gluten free Apple Bread is something I enjoy anytime of the day. You could eat this for breakfast or as snack during the day. After a long work day, there is nothing like having a hot cup of tea and a slice of gluten free apple bread to relax and unwind.

11. For reheating, I do recommend heating this up in the toaster oven or microwave before eating. Add softened butter or cream cheese to really makes this extra special.

Notes

• Make sure your ingredients say GF on the label.  
• Let the bread cool completely before cutting. I would allow at least an hour. If you try to cut it while it still warm, the slices can crumble and fall apart.
• I suggest eating this within two to three days. Gluten free flour can be dense, and you want this to be moist and delicious.
• For storing, wrap the bread up in a layer of saran wrap then a layer of foil. You can also store this in a bread storage container. I have two as I bake frequently. You could freeze this for up to 2 months.
• To make this bread extra special, I heat it up and add a nice slab of butter or cream cheese.
• If you find the top of the bread is browning too fast, put some foil on the top to slow the browning of the top of the bread and allow the bread to finish cooking in the center.
