“Instead of remembering cancelled plans and uncertainty, maybe they’ll remember this as the time when they discovered that baking can be not just a means to a sweet reward, but an act of self-care and solace, just as it is now for their worried mother.” Margaux Laskey, NYT
This recipe makes a sweet, dense, moist delicious almost pound-cake apple bread. Thank you, Anita!
