Apple Bread

Moist Apple Bread you say? Why yes it is..thank you!

Hubby and I have a favorite apple house in North Carolina that we have been visiting for over 20 years..Barber's Orchard! The Golden Delicious apples have always been my go to, but I decided to add Honeycrisp to the list this time. I love them. And while Barber's makes many delicious apple treats, today I am making my own yummy and moist Apple Bread by adapting my Banana Bread recipe. 

Next week it's..Caramel Apple Cookies!

 Saigon cinnamon is the variety I use to make Cinnamon sugar. One sniff and you'll know why! 

I used half of the Cinnamon sugar to coat the loaf pan and the other half to mix into shredded apples.

I used one Golden Delicious and one Honeycrisp..just to be fair ya know.. ;o) 
I also gently pressed out just some of the juice from the shredded apples.

Stir half of the cinnamon sugar into apples and set aside.

I love butter flavor Crisco to grease my cake pans. 
Use the remaining half of Cinnamon sugar to coat the baking pan.

Add all dry ingredients in mixing bowl whisking to combine.

 In a separate bowl, add eggs, buttermilk, oil and vanilla. 
Gently whisk together and add to flour mixture stirring just till moistened.

Fold in shredded apples.

Pour batter into prepared pan.

 Bake @ 325 degrees for 55-60 minutes.
I'm baking mine for 58 minutes or just until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.

 Let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove from pan...

 and enjoy!
