10 Quick and Easy Gluten-Free Apple Recipes

There is so much that you can do with apples. As with every fruit, apples are best when they are in season crispy, fresh and packed with delicious flavour and healthy nutrients.

Depending on the variety, you will find fresh in-season apples from late July through November. However, it is just as important to choose the right apple for each recipe.

This healthy, versatile fruit can be used in muffins, pancakes, desserts, bread, soups and salads. Today I am sharing recipes that will show you several ways to include apples in gluten-free recipes.
