Then when the apples are gone, she grabs a spoon to finish off the dip. Cuz it's basically pudding. Yum. The buttermilk gives it an extra zing of flavor. If you don't have buttermilk, you could make your own {Put 1 Tbsp. lemon juice in a 1 c. measuring cup and add milk to make 1 cup.}or use regular milk. But you're gonna want to use buttermilk if you can. … [Read more...]
