Hi Reader!

Fall baking season is officially here, and I want to make sure you have everything you need. I pulled together four of my favorite apple and pumpkin recipes, from cake to focaccia, and every single one is completely gluten-free. Pick one for the weekend, or bake your way through the whole list.

Gluten-Free Apple Cake

A single-layer snack cake studded with tender apples and warm cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. No frosting needed, so it works for breakfast or dessert.

Gluten-Free Pumpkin Coffee Cake

Soft, spiced pumpkin cake with a buttery cinnamon streusel and a cream cheese glaze. Bake it the day before and glaze it right before serving.

Gluten-Free Pumpkin Focaccia

This one leans savory, with earthy pumpkin, rosemary, sage, and pepitas. It's perfect for dipping into a bowl of chili or soup.

Happy fall baking!
