Apple Buttermilk Bread

 

My grandpa just gave me a large buchel of apples at Christmas I couldn’t wait to use them. Honestly fruit is the best gift you can give a dietitian at Christmas! Or anyone.. Really! I remember my grandpa telling me he would always get fresh oranges at Christmas. 

 Also a few weeks ago my mom, sister, and I went through some of my grandma’s cookbooks and stumbled across this apple cookbook. Every single recipe has apples in it from sweet to savory. This is actually the second recipe I have made with my extra special tweeks. Looking forward to trying them all.

BTW my sister and her family got me the adorable recipe holder (pictured above) for Christmas! It is a cookbook miracle tool. No more splatters or losing your page.
