Apple cake is a classic old fashioned dessert and you can make it gluten free with this Gluten Free Apple Cake Recipe. I took my mom’s classic apple cake and made it gluten free .
I love apple cake, especially during the fall. Apples and fall just go together. In reality, thought I make this cake all year long.
This is a recipe that I have actually adapted multiple times. I took my mom’s classic rhubarb cake and made it into a delicious apple cake. Then I took that recipe and made it gluten free.
This is one of my favorite desserts to serve company because it is so good that no one can tell that it is gluten free. The taste and texture are amazing.
If you love apple recipes this is a must try!
Can I use a gluten free flour blend?
In many recipes, I prefer to use only individual gluten free flours because it makes the recipe so much better.
For this gluten-free apple cake recipe, I have used both Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Flour Blend and King Arthur’s Measure for Measure Gluten Free Blend and they work great too.
Other gluten free flour blends, may work, but I have only tested the recipe with those two blends.
If you want to use the individual flours in place of the gluten free blend they are listed in the notes on the recipe.
