Apple Wine Discard Bread

Those of you that follow me on TikTok know that I have a brewer friend named Bob that is teaching me how to make apple cider vinegar from the apples I grew. While we are in the process and I will link some of the videos below what we are working with today is the apple discards. The pulp from the apple that people usually throw away.

This pulp is full of fiber and fermentation goodness and some alcohol. I have been experimenting and it makes a great quick bread. and… as you will see in part 2 of this experiment it makes something else that I no longer buy at Trader Joes. Bonus.. So.. let’s catch you up!

The first video….
