I've had the worst luck with apples since they passed their prime a while back. I have pretty much sworn them off until Utah's apple season this fall. (Side note: if you live in Utah, you have to get your apples at Allred Orchards, man are they delicious.)
Anyway, this week's Tuesdays with Dorie pick was a Cornmeal and Fruit Loaf. Since I was on said anti-apple-until-fall kick, I wasn't to excited. I mean, I could have used pears, but I didn't, those aren't really in season either.
I didn't leave too many notes in my cookbook, but I do remember thinking this was good but not amazing. I did enjoy the nutmeg hint and cornmeal texture. I'm sure during the peek of fall it would rock and I'd love to try the pear version this winter.
Visit Caitlin's blog, Engineer Baker for the recipe and be sure to see how the other Tuesdays with Dorie bakers liked this loaf.
On a side note, I am cruising through this game I call catchup. Instead of 86 recipes to make I am now closer to 60! Isn't that awesome? I am so looking forward to December when I can say I've made very single recipe in Baking from My Home to Yours by Dorie Greenspan.

I liked this recipe. Living in Washington state, I'm always shocked if apples aren't good. They grow so many here! Hopefully it will be a good fall harvest in your area.
