Hearty, delicious, and sweet, that’s what the lady behind me in line at the check-out was saying about me, when I was purchasing Pumpkin Experience #8: Pumpkin Apple Tea Bread from Whole Foods. In a head to head with the Pumpkin Chocolate Pound Cake from an earlier blog, the Pumpkin Apple Tea Bread would win comfortably. It was moist and just the right amount of pumpkiny. It goes perfectly with a strong cup of coffee, preferably something a bit dark with earthy, chocolatey tones, and not the fruity or floral tones.
