A friend brought a loaf of this nut bread to a ladies' church meeting at my house. It was still warm from the oven. My family likes the nutty texture and fresh apple flavor. —June Mullins, Livonia, Missouri

To substitute for each cup of buttermilk, use 1 Tbsp. white vinegar or lemon juice plus enough milk to measure 1 cup. Stir, then let stand 5 min. Or, use 1 cup plain yogurt or 1-3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar plus 1 cup milk.
