Tea with Apple Bread

Welcome to Beyond The Garden Gate, where it's time for tea.

Come on in; I've been baking.

 Apples are great this time of year. These are called "Missouri apples," and I found them good for  both baking and eating.

 This is 'Old Britain Castles' by Johnson Brothers.

 An apple plate (Dollar General) holds a warm slice of apple bread with butter.

Thanks for sharing tea with me today. I have a recipe for the apple bread below.
