Apple Fritter Loaf Bread #recipe #giveaway @vmburns

VMBURNS: I've been busy testing recipes for my Baker Street Mystery book, ICING ON THE MURDER, which releases on July 29th. My editor told me the book would be released in the fall, so I went for fall recipes. Fall for me includes apples. So, I included lots of apple recipes (thanks to several friends) who donated recipes and agreed to help taste test. I found myself with leftover apples and a desire for a quick bread and stumbled across a recipe for Apple Fritter Loaf Bread. This recipe didn't make it into the book, but its definitely a keeper.

THE NEXT DEADLY CHAPTER




All Sam wanted was to make a good impression on her fiancé Frank’s mother, the very proper Dr. Camilia Patterson. But when Nano Jo and the lively ladies of Shady Acres Retirement Village throw a surprise bridal shower for Sam at the Four Feathers Casino—watch out! Things spin out of control faster than a roulette wheel. Fortunately, Sam knows when to fold ’em and slips back to her room to work on her latest historical mystery set between the wars, in which a houseguest meets a grim end at an English country manor.
 
The morning after brings another rude surprise. Sam gets a frantic call from Camilia, who’s discovered a dead body in her room. Now winning over her soon-to-be mother-in-law means keeping the good doctor out of a potential scandal and attempting to discreetly solve a murder without ruffling any feathers. For that she’ll need the help of Nano Jo—not exactly the soul of discretion—Detective “Stinky” Pitt, and the ladies—because the casino killer keeps upping the ante. . .
