This gluten-free Apple Dapple Bundt Cake is a super moist cake that is loaded with fresh apples, crunchy pecans and covered in a buttery brown sugar glaze. With a dairy-free option.

Even though it’s still summer and super hot here in North Florida, I’m dreaming of cooler Fall weather and everything Apple, especially gluten-free apple Bundt Cake.

My husband loves bundt cakes. Gluten-free bundt cakes are super easy to whip up and are always a crowd pleaser.

One of his favorites flavors of gluten-free bundt cake is Apple Dapple Cake. Apple Dapple cake is a super moist apple cake with crunchy pecans and a brown sugar glaze.

Gluten-Free Apple Bundt Cake In A Few Easy Steps

The first step is to peel and chop the apples. Once I peel the apples I like to use an apple slicer to core the apples. Then I dice them up into smaller pieces. (photo 1)

I really like using gala apples in baking because they are sweet and crisp, but you can use your favorite type of apples. It took four gala apples to make three cups of diced apples to use in the apple bundt cake recipe.

The gluten-free bundt cake batter is super easy to whip up. I start by creaming the sugar and butter together in my mixer. Once it’s nice and fluffy I add one egg at a time. I then add the rest of the wet ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture.

Once all of the wet ingredients are combined I add the dry ingredients to the bundt cake batter. The batter will start to thicken up. Make sure to mix it until it’s nice an smooth.

To finish the bundt cake batter I fold in the chopped apples and chopped pecans with a spatula. I buy chopped pecans, but I always chop them up into a little smaller pieces because I don’t like big pieces of nuts in my cake.

Sir the bundt cake batter with the spatula or a spoon to fully incorporate the chopped apples and chopped pecans into the batter. (photo 2)

Make sure you spray your bundt pan really well with gluten-free cooking spray. I use coconut oil cooking spray and I spray it on really thick. I bake my gluten-free bundt cakes in a Nordic Ware Bundt Pan.

Bake the apple bundt cake for 70 minutes at 325° F. (photo 3)

You will know that the bundt cake is done once it’s golden brown and the sides start to pull away from the pan a little. Also, check it with a toothpick to make sure the center comes out clean. My apple bundt cake took 70 minutes on the dot to bake. Please watch your oven because all ovens are different. (photo 4)

Don’t worry if the top of your apple bundt cake has a few cracks in it, because this is the bottom of your cake and no one will see it.

Right before it’s time for the bundt cake to come out of the oven, make your brown sugar butter sauce.

Once you take the cake out of the oven, poke holes all over the top of the cake. (photo 5)

Pour the brown sugar butter sauce all over the warm cake still in the pan. (photo 6)

Allow the bundt cake to cool completely in the pan and then invert the bundt cake onto a serving plate. (photo 7)

I have also included a dairy-free option to my gluten-free Apple Dapple Bundt Cake recipe.  My husband, my youngest son, and I are all dairy-free.

I promise it is just as delicious made with the dairy-free butter and dairy-free milk. So, you too can enjoy a gluten-free and dairy-free apple bundt cake.
