gluten free applesauce snack cake

This gluten-free applesauce bundt snack cake is one of those recipes I have made over and over again. It is made with brown rice flour (that means it’s whole grain) and it is sweetened with honey.

I shared this recipe here on the blog back in 2011, and I pulled it out of the archives today mostly to updated the images and  re-share it with you during apple season!

Settling into fall has become a recent love for me. I used to be more of a spring person. {Because that meant summer wasn’t far off. And really I am a summer person.}

Years ago, before being a mom, I thought it was so sad to watch the green of summer turn to orange and then brown and then finally go to sleep under a blanket of frost and snow for the winter. 

But now that our family includes two very active school kids, who spent the summer perfecting their drop-kick technique on each other, I love it! Don’t get me wrong, it’s not just kicking the kids out the door in the morning.

It’s a nesting thing.

After the go go go of summer activities and parties at the lake, I have started to crave late August and early September back at our house. The evenings get cool, the days are still warm and often dry. During the day, I leave the windows open and I can still hear the crickets in the tall dry grass.

The wild turkeys roam back and fourth across our acreage foraging for tid-bits. I relish the finally quiet empty house so I can focus for a full day of work. My classes at the gym are suddenly packed with moms who are equally glad to be free. And I can use my oven again without fear of heating up the whole house.

This gluten-free applesauce Bundt snack cake always comes to mind at this time of year to kick off the baking season. As soon as the first wooden “Pick Your Own Apples” signs start to appear on the side of the road, I become an apple-baking Pavlovian dog.
