Gluten Free Apple Bread Recipes

This gluten-free cinnamon bread is loaded with chunks of fresh, tart apples. Every fall I get at least 40 pounds of either of our favorite tart apple varieties: McIntosh or Pink Lady. Then I bake up my favorite gluten-free apple recipes, including my gluten-free apple cake and my gluten-free apple crisp.

A slice of this gluten-free apple bread is perfect alongside your morning cup of coffee, or for a mid-day snack. Or even for dessert with a cup of decaf!

Into your greased loaf pan, you’ll layer: 1/2 of batter, 1/2 of cinnamon/sugar, 1/2 of batter, remaining cinnamon/sugar. Then you’ll grab a wooden skewer or long toothpick to swirl the cinnamon sugar throughout the loaf. Then you’ll bake for about 55 minutes.

Apple Bread (vegan + Gluten Free)

Here’s a look at before and after baking this apple cinnamon bread (you can see the swirling back and forth I did):

You’ll know this is done when a toothpick or wooden skewer inserted into the baked loaf comes out with moist crumbs only, no wet batter. Given the wet apples inside, you might have to poke a couple spots to be sure.

I actually tried this apple cinnamon bread with a glaze and found that I much preferred it with this cinnamon/sugar topping instead of a glaze.

Apple Crisp Bread (gf/v)

So try it this way first with the cinnamon sugar topping. If you want to add a glaze on top, simply mix together milk and powdered sugar to the consistency you want and drizzle over the gluten-free apple loaf.

This gluten-free apple bread would be a great addition to any gluten-free brunch you’re having. Here it is sliced up and ready to serve:

This gluten-free sweet bread would go great with this savory gluten-free breakfast casserole. It would also go great with this gluten-free quiche recipe from my friend Megan. For a drink for your gluten-free brunch, make this hot apple cider.

Spiced Apple Bread (vegan And Gluten Free)

I was on your site because I really wanted your Apple Crisp reciepe, once I started gathering ingrediants I found out my apples had gone bad and I was left with three useable, not enough. So I searched through your recipes that was 'easy enough' and used less apple, THIS LOAF was AMAZING!! Thank you for the save! I was so disappointed about not gettin my apple crisp, and now I'm thrilled that I ran into the problem and found this! I'll be back, to try other reciepes. So very thankful that you can share your wisdom and skills so that I can use my limited abilites to produce a great treat. Thank You Sincerely!

This was wonderful. Made for a group that mostly are gluten eaters, just me who is gluten free. It was gobbled up! I did reduce sugar amount in the bread to 1/2 cup, might reduce to 1/3 next time as apples and cinnamon sugar swirl make plenty sweet. Thanks for a great recipe.

Healthy Gluten Free Apple Bread

This was absolutely delicious! I used Better Batter's Artisan Blend flour and it came out great. My apples were pretty sweet, so I wish I had cut back on the sugar a bit. I think a really tart apple would be best next time, but if I don't have that I'll just use a little less sugar. Thanks for a lovely recipe!

A note on the apples, you can use any kind of apples you love or have on hand. And they can be “older” apples as they are going to be grated.

Gluten Free Apple Cinnamon Bread (dairy Free And Egg Free)

Pro tip: With gluten-free baking, sometimes the top may be done but the center needs a few extra minutes, cover loosely with foil and continue baking. 

And do not over bake — you will know it is done when a toothpick comes out clean and it pulls away from the edges of the pan slightly.

Let cool in the baking pan for 20-30 minutes, then remove from pan and continue to cool completely on baking rack before topping with the cinnamon frosting.

Cinnamon Applesauce Oat Bread (gluten Free, High Altitude Option)

You are certainly welcome to enjoy the bread without frosting!  It will be soft, moist and have the best apple cinnamon flavor! My family loves it plain!

If you decide to frost it all, you can store it in the refrigerator as you would a cake and it will stay well for a few days.

If you want it to be freshest, frost it close to serving. You can even store the frosting in the refrigerator (it stays creamy) and frost as needed.
