These gluten-free Thanksgiving recipes give you options for when gluten isn’t welcome at your holiday table.
Apple Pie Moonshine
: Rex Miller
1/15
Become your own bootlegger. Start with vodka, toss in some apples and spices, and wait overnight. That's it. Then splash it in a punch bowl, pour it into Mason jars or just keep it all to yourself and indulge in a nip once in a while.
Recipe

2/15
Everyone we know who’s tried this gluten-free gravy is calling it their new “go-to” gravy, regardless of their gluten preference or tolerance. Undeniably and luxuriously rich, smooth, and silken.
