How to Make Apple Soda Bread

This is so good just as it is or you can serve it with butter and honey or wedges of cheese if you like. Great toasted too and it freezes well. I like to freeze slices that I can whip out and pop into the toaster when someone fancies a snack. Malt extract, by the way, is lovely syrupy stuff that you can use in small quantities in baking instead of refined sugar. And I’ve realised that there’s nothing weird about buttermilk you’ll find it in most supermarkets. Spelt flour is great but you can also use wholemeal which is cheaper.
