I've loved to cook since my grandmother helped me stand in a chair and "fry" toast when I was 4. I've been a nurse for 18 years, and my husband and I and our daughter recently moved here to Bristol, Tennessee from Bristol, Virginia—the state line runs down Main Street!

Ingredients

1 cup sugar
3/4 cup butter, divided
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup buttermilk
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups chopped peeled tart apples
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

In a bowl, cream sugar and 1/2 cup butter. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Add baking soda to buttermilk; add to creamed mixture. Mix in flour and salt. Stir in apples, nuts and raisins. Pour into two greased and floured 8x4-in. loaf pans. Melt remaining butter; drizzle over loaves. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over loaves. Bake at 350° for 45-50 minutes. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes. Turn out on a wire rack to cool. Slice in 1-1/2-in. pieces to serve.
