Looking for a gluten free blueberry bread recipe with a twist? Try adding some apples to it!
Michigan is the #2 state for apple production (behind Washington). I get excited each fall for apple season and cider mills! I’m always looking for ways to use all of the apples. Making applesauce to use in recipes is a great way to use them up. This gluten free blueberry bread uses applesauce its recipe.

An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away!
As the old saying goes, “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”. Apples are a great source of fiber, and rich in antioxidants. They are also good for neurological health, your heart and so much more. Apples are like statins for your heart, without the side effects.
However, when picking or buying apples, remember to make sure they are organic and haven’t been sprayed with many pesticides.
Apples are always at the top of the Environmental Working Group’s Dirty Dozen list. Pesticides can cover apples and seep into the center of the apple through the core.
