Apple Cinnamon Buttermilk Bread: This buttermilk based quick bread is filled with apples and cinnamon sugar all topped with a apple spice glaze.
This week on Twitter a very odd thing started to trend…and no, I’m not talking about the Gabrielle Union thing.
I’m talking about the body double conspiracy.
The one where people were convinced that Melania Trump had a body double instead of being at the event herself.
It, of course, was later proved that it was her.
But people were analyzing the angle of her nose and distance of eyebrows and all that crazy nonsense…really dedicating some time to it.
I mean, don’t get me wrong, if it were true I would find it odd but is it really worth scrutinizing over?
Don’t we have WAY bigger things to be worrying about.
I’m all for the body double idea though, I would love one.
Imagine getting to send in your body double to do the laundry.
Visit family you don’t want to.
Go to the DMV for us.
Deal with your kids through their teen years.
Picking up dog poop.
Though I wonder if my fear of missing out would have me wondering what they were doing all the time. 🙂
What about you?
Would you want a body double?
Something you definitely want is this Apple Cinnamon Buttermilk Bread.
While it’s technically a quick bread…it might be a little cake like.
But you know, bread is healthier so we call it that. 😀
I used honey crisp apples but almost any type of apple will do.
It’s a great day to order my cookbook.

What can I substitute for the boiled apple cider? These look delicious!
Peabody says
You can make your own boiled cider by simply boiling down apple cider until it becomes syrup like in consistency.
Kelly says
How did you know I had buttermilk to use up! 😀
Peabody says
Psychic powers 🙂

Hello! I really want to try this recipe but am having a hard time finding boiled apple cider. In what section of the grocery store would that be in? Also, two of the grocery stores I went into did not have apple pie spice. Could I substitute allspice? Or what would you recommend?

Hi First off I love your posts and recipes.
Tonight I’m making your Apple Cinnamon Buttermilk Bread. I made 6 mini loaves, they’re still in oven. My guestion is “Was I realy supposed to use the rest of the Cinnamon sugar on top of the batter?” It seems like way too much so I used about 1 cup divided up among the 6 loaves and still seems like too much. I’ll post later when we actually eat it. Thanks
Peabody says
It’s really up to you. If you felt like it was too much than that is your choice. We personally love the extra crunch of the cinnamon sugar on top.
Barbara says
Ok thank you. When they came out of oven I just shook the extra sugar off from the tops.
Delicious 😋 Thank you ❤️

I am sad to say this was a thumbs down. The apple mixture was soupy so I didn’t add all of the sauce. The cinnamon sugar was extremely excessive so I did not use it all. The top turned out rock hard d/t all of the c. sugar on top. The apples sunk to the bottom. The glaze tasted weird so I made my own. Sorry but being honest.
Peabody says
I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you. If the sauce was soupy it could have been the type of apple you chose. As some are juicier than others.
