I got a box of baking apples in my monthly fruit box (courtesy of my husand's Boss) and so I decided to use them in this week's version of Bannock.

Bannock read is basically equal parts flour (or bisquick) and rolled oats, some salad oil, some chopped fruit, enough uttermilk to wrt ingredients, spices and optional egg. You mix it all up, pour into a well oiled deep dish iron casserole and bake till done on inisde and cripsy on outside.

I made mine this AM with:

Apple-Cranberry Bannock
1 1/2 cups Bisquick
1/2 cup rolled oats
5 packets of Maple & brown Sugar Instant oats (i was out of rolled oats)
2 macintosh apples peeled, cored and diced very tiny
1/3 cup dried orange flavored cranberries diced really tiny
1 cup of unsweetened bobs red mill shredded coconut
2 tablespoons of cinnamon ( me like cinnamon)
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon mace
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup castor sugar
1 cup buttermilk
3 eggs ( I know Bannock isn't supposed to have eggs ut I like mine that way)

Mix it all up and pour into a well oiled iron casserole and ake at 375 until a baking proe comes out clean (I used a long wooden skewer) and outside is crispy. Also makes VERY nice mini-loaves. if using mini loaf pan, they take between 18 and 25 minutes depending upon your oven
