When I first shared this roundup of gluten-free apple dessert recipes, I expressed awe that there were more of them than there were gluten-free zucchini desserts, and that roundup was pretty epic! I’m happy to report that I’ve just updated this post to include about 20 more gluten-free apple desserts (so there are well over 175 recipes now) and you’re going to love them all!

The gluten-free apple desserts added include some classic recipes like Homemade Apple Pie and twists on classics, like Snickerdoodle Apple Pie, and even more new and delicious ways to use apples like Apple Crescent Rolls, Apple Fritter Bites, Apple-Grape Salad, Apple Nachos, Apple Tart with Vanilla Caramel Custard, Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars, Caramel Apple Crisp in Jars, Apple Cinnamon French Toast Casserole (close enough to a dessert for me!), Shortbread Apple Pockets, and more.

With all these recipes to choose from, apple season is truly a glorious gluten-free time!

If you're a lover of desserts made with apples, you've hit the jackpot! There are over 175 gluten-free apple desserts here.

I was also surprised by how many of these recipes fall under the Cobblers/Crisps/Crumbles category, but there are plenty of recipes in every category. Amazing and delightful recipes. They will inspire you to get in the kitchen for sure and some are so easy to make that you won’t believe it! Grab your favorite beverage and sit back to check out some of the very best gluten-free apple desserts from my contributors.

    Wow, Shirley — that is one very impressive collection of apple recipes! I just picked up another couple of baskets of apples from a local farm today, so I’ve got lots to bake with. Can’t wait to try out some of these recipes! Thanks for sharing them all, and for including one of mine here, too. 🙂

      Lisa–Once I started going, I truly had a hard time stopping myself. I was simply amazed at the number of gluten-free apple recipes! I could have shared far more, but I was shocked when I counted how many I already had. 😉 My pleasure to share your recipe and I hope you find some new ones here that you really like. 🙂

    Finding this great collection of apple recipes is a perfect way to end my apple day. My family and I baked 14 gluten free apple pies today to freeze for the winter. The house smells wonderful. I still have lots of apples left to try a few new recipes as well 🙂 Thanks for putting this list together and for including my Apple Cinnamon Bread!

      Melanie–My mouth dropped open when I read that you made 14 apple pies! Man, that is going to make for a very delicious winter for sure! 😉 I was feeling good about roasting a pumpkin, making a quiche, and making a batch of cookies, but you blew me out of the water! LOL Love your cinnamon bread recipe and I hope you enjoy checking out all these recipes! 🙂

    UNREAL! You are amazing, Shirley. I can’t resist commenting, but I’m speechless. =) This is the most spectacular collection of apple-inspired recipes ever. What a way to ease out of fall and into winter. I will definitely be making an apple “something” today as I’ve got a big bowl of apples waiting to be whipped into something delicious. Guess I better figure out which recipe(s) I want to try. Thank you, thank you! You are the undeniable queen of GF blogging. Wow. Like I said, I’m speechless (impossible).

    So many wonderful apple desserts and all in one place must really have taken you some time. The one that caught my eye from the get go was what looked to be heart shaped apple blondies. Oh, boy o boy, yum, yum. Turns out they’re dog biscuits. Well, okay. Woof!

      Hi Laurel–Everyone has been attracted to those cute treats! Part of it is the fact that they’re heart shaped (personally, I can NEVER resist hearts!). The other part is the fact that because the photo is in its own category, it is not part of a collage, so it’s a full-sized image. You know what though, I bet it wouldn’t take much of a change to make those a yummy human treat. The ingredients are ones we use all the time so perhaps with some added sweetener, these would make great people treats! 🙂

      Thanks for taking the time to comment. I hope you find some new favorites for sure. 😉

      Audrey–Yay, you have your own apples! That’s wonderful! Apples are my favorite fruit. Admittedly, I prefer them “as is” and not in recipes per se, but I’ve learned to love some of these recipes. Such great variety, too! I created this recipe before you were a contributor and simply updated it to make fixes. I hope to grab some of your apple dessert recipes to share here in the future. 🙂

      Hi Judee–Thanks!! After your comment, I realized that I hadn’t included your Jewish Apple Cake that you just posted so I added the link to the listing. 🙂

      There are so many vegan recipes in this roundup. I really hope you find some that do interest you and give them a try.
