Apple Fritter Loaf - Gluten Free
One thing I have missed since going gluten free is apple fritter donuts. This recipe is not for donuts, but this loaf really satisfied my apple fritter craving!
Apple Fritter Loaf is loaded with cinnamon and our fresh farm apples.
I topped it off with a cinnamon, maple syrup glaze. The maple syrup was also produced on our farm.
Slice some up for your coffee break or enjoy a slice for dessert.
This loaf recipe yields 10 slices.
This decadent gluten free loaf recipe is sure to please everyone whether or not they have to avoid gluten!

The first thing that I did to make Apple Fritter Loaf was to mix some brown sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl and set it aside until needed.
Then I dumped some granulated sugar and margarine into a large mixing bowl.
After creaming the margarine and granulated sugar together with an electric hand mixer I added in large eggs and vanilla extract.
I used the electric hand mixer again to beat until smooth and creamy.
Once the ingredients were combined I added in some Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Baking Flour, baking powder and a bit of salt.
Next I used a large wooden spoon and stirred just until the ingredients were combined before pouring in some almond milk.
I set the batter aside and cut up 3 apples.
Then I mixed the apples with some granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
Once the Apple mixture was ready I sprayed a 9" x 5" loaf pan with cooking spray and poured half the batter into the pan.
Then I topped the batter with half the apple mixture and lightly pressed the apples into the batter.
Next I covered the apples with half the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture I had prepared earlier before covering with the remaining batter.
Then I dumped in the remaining apples mixture and again lightly pressed them into the batter.
Next I spread the remaining brown sugar and cinnamon mixture over the apples.
Using a plastic knife I swirled the brown sugar mixture through the apples to create a marbling effect.
After swirling the loaf was ready for the oven.
I baked the Apple Fritter Loaf in a preheated 350F oven for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center came out clean.
After removing the loaf from the oven I allowed it to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before turning it out onto a rack to finish cooling.
Once it was cooled I prepared the glaze by combining icing sugar, pure maple syrup, almond milk and ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
Once the glaze ingredients were combined I drizzled them over the loaf.
This was a bit messy so I did it on top of a cutting board for easy cleanup.
I waited for the glaze to dry before cutting into the Apple Fritter Loaf.
The yield for this recipe will vary depending on the thickness of your slices.
I like to get about 10 slices from this Apple Fritter Loaf recipe.
Savour every bite of this tasty loaf any time of the year and any time of the day!

The apple fritter loaf was absolutely amazing. You truly wouldn’t even know it’s gluten free.
Hi,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your results with us! I am so glad that you enjoyed the recipe!!
Take care,

What apples would you suggest using?
Hi there,
I used our farm apples and trees are so old not sure what they are. If I buy apples I buy macintosh or empire.
Take care,
Kathleen
Can I use regular milk? We don't really do almond milk.
Hi Lauren,
I think it would be okay to use regular milk.
Enjoy,
Kathleen
Is there an option other than Bob's one-to-one? In addition to gluten I am also intolerant to corn and potato. But oh how I miss apple fritters.
Hi Jessica,
I am not sure what other one to one flours you have in your area. You may just have to experiment a little bit. This love receives rave reviews from family and friends so hopefully you can find a replacement flour where you live!
Take care,
Kathleen
At last, a gluten free cake with apples and cinnamon. The smell of this baking was wonderful and it tastes delicious! I’ve missed apple pie and cake since going gluten free. Thank you for a lovely recipe, Kathleen.
Hi Wendy,
I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thanks for taking the time to share your review with us. Yes, there is nothing quite like the aroma of apples and cinnamon in the fall!! Be sure to try the apple pie recipe as well...
Take care,
Kathleen
Beautiful result with this recipe. Thank you for providing it. Do you store it at room temperature or in the refrigerator? Have you tried freezing it?
Hi Deborah,
I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe! I store it at room temperature because it does not last more than a couple days in our house. We love it! I have frozen it before and when thawed it was still amazing. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Take care,
Kathleen
Apple fritter recipe looks wonderful.
Hi Nancy,
Thank you! We love this delicious recipe!
Take care,
Kathleen
How would you change the recipe to non gluten free?
Hi LL,
This recipe uses 1 to 1 flour so technically you are supposed to be able to do a direct substitution...hope this helps.
Take care,
Kathleen
What size apples? Large...medium...small?
Hi Sheryl,
Medium to large size is what I usually use.
Take care,
Kathleen
looks amazing but I wish it didn't require so much sugar.
Hi Betty,
Thank you for taking the time to comment. I am sure you can cut down on the sugar content and still have a wonderful loaf. Let us know if you try!
Take care,
Kathleen
I would like to bake this in mini paper bread pans for Holiday gift baskets. Do you think it would work?
Hi Kathy,
I have never baked with those pans so cannot really comment. Hopefully someone else will see this. I know you can bake it as smaller loaves and then adjust the cooking time. If you do try it please let us know how it turns out!!
Take care,
Kathleen
Hi! I love the taste of the recipe, but I seem to be struggling because the center top of the bread just won’t bake all the way and stays soupy. Bottom and edges are good- just the top center! Any tips on what could be causing this?
Hi Tara,
If the bottom and edges are good you might want to lower the temperature slightly the next time you try the recipe. That way the center will hopefully cook as well. Others may have some suggestions as well...
Take care,
Kathleen
Am I able to bake night before then pop it back into the oven to warm it up the next morning for breakfast?
Hi there,
Yes, you could do that or heat up individual slices in the microwave.
Enjoy,
Kathleen
I took this to a potluck and everybody there wanted the recipe because it was so good, not because it was gluten free. It really was delicious. I used Honey Crisp apples. They have a very pronounced apple flavor and just enough firmness to hold together. I think they were one of the reasons it was so good. This bread actually has more apples that batter. I only used half of the glaze and it had more than enough. One of the best GF success stories I've had!
Hi Jan,
I am so glad you and everyone else enjoyed the recipe!! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your success with us. We really love the recipe here too. Next time I might try the Honey Crisp apples myself.
Thanks for sharing,
Kathleen
Can you use butter instead? I’m looking forward to making it tomorrow!
Hi Christine,
Yes, you can use butter instead. I just have to be careful of my dairy intake.
Enjoy,
Kathleen
