Sweet, warm, and beautiful, this coconut flour-based apple kugel is the perfect comfort food. Traditionally apples and honey are served in the fall for the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, to bring sweetness in the year to come, but it is a delicious treat any time.
Kugel typically has egg noodles in it, which we opt out of in favor of beautiful thinly-sliced apples for a similar texture. Children love arranging the apple slices in different patterns, and no matter how they are arranged, the results are always beautiful. This gluten-free apple kugel can be served as breakfast, dessert, or as a special side dish.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe with Almond Flour (GAPS, Paleo)
This was a winner! I modified it a bit to fit my children’s pallets, we have tried coconut flour apple puff pancakes in the past but the kids didn’t care for it. I thought this would be a good alternative to the pancake. They chowed down on it and asked for seconds. Thank you for sharing!
I’m glad Amanda! :)
This was wonderful. I made it for brunch this morning and everyone loved it!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it Joann!
