I love apple kugel, and have come to realize that making kugels gluten-free is actually really simple if you have the right ingredients. I keep an all-purpose gluten-free flour on hand that has xanthan gum already included in it (brands like Bob’s Red Mill and Better Batter). Buy yours online and in bulk for the best prices.

If my 1-to -1 flour does not have xantham gum, gar gum, or psyllium how much xantham should I add?
Can this be frozen
We haven’t tested freezing the cake but please let us know how it turns out if you do.
Can you use regular flour instead? If so, would CB it be the same quantity?
How do I transform this to a non GF kugel using regular AP flour?!
I made this for my gluten-free husband. It’s really good, and I’ll be making it again. I used Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free All Purpose Flour as recommended. I’m wondering if it can be made exactly the same with regular flour?
Delicious and easy! Used almond flour and, instead of honey, maple syrup.
I’d love to try it with almond flour. Same amount as GF flour?
