With A Cup of Tea

Hi Guys, 

Where did the time go?  This year is zooming by! Lets catch up.
Well then, lets get comfy and for that we need a cup of tea and something yummy.

The tea I'm loving right now is a Lipton Green Tea with acai berry, melon and dragon fruit flavors. Its super refreshing and light.
You can see it here and all the other flavors in that line:

For the something yummy I just have to share with you this delicious apple bread!

Apple Bread

Topping/ Filling:

2 large apples (diced) 

2 tbsp brown sugar 

1 tsp cinnamon

1/4 cup sliced almonds 

Batter:

1/2 cup butter

3/4 cup sugar

2 eggs

11/2 cup flour

1/4 cup quick oats

11/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 cup milk

1tsp vanilla

1 tsp lemon zest

Method:

Preheat your oven to 350 F and grease and flour a standard loaf pan 

In a small bowl mix apples, sugar and cinnamon and set aside.

In another bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. 

Add eggs one at a time and mix until incorporated

Sift flour and baking powder into mix and fold in, add oats.

Mix in milk, vanilla and lemon zest.

In the loaf pan add half the mix, spoon over apple mix and sprinkle with half the almonds

Add the other half of of the batter and top with the remaining apple and almonds

Bake in preheated oven for 45 mins or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted.

I really hope you guys try this recipe. The apple totally infuses the entire bread and makes the bread  deliciously moist. 

Well there isn't much time to chat now after all the baking, but don't worry I'll be back with a Valentine's recap, some info on our new menus and soon an exciting announcement! 

Have a delicious day!
