Cheddar Apple Bread



There are those foods every Fall, usually comfort foods, that conjure up memories of years past and have become staples in my kitchen.

This Cheddar Apple Bread is one of them.



I don't know where I got this recipe, some 30 years ago, and that is how long I have been making it. Can you tell?



I searched my own blog to see if I had ever posted the recipe, but I had not.

You are in for a treat today.


Cheddar Apple Bread

2 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup milk
1/3 cup margarine/butter, melted
2 cups (8 oz.) sharp shredded cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups chopped, peeled apples
3/4 cup chopped walnuts

Combine dry ingredients. Add combined eggs, milk and margarine to dry; mix well. Stir in remaining ingredients. Spoon into well greased and floured loaf pan.

Bake at 350, 65-70 minutes or until tester comes out clean (my oven only takes 60 minutes). Let stand 5 minutes. One loaf.

*********

I made the recipe twice, in two separate bowls, to get 2 loaves. I do not know how it would do if I just doubled everything in one bowl.

It is a very dense bread, each loaf weighing almost 2 1/2 pounds. It goes great with Butternut Squash soup, Meatloaf, Chili, Stew.....

Enjoy! Happy Fall!

    Apple bread without cheese is like a kiss without a squeeze... don't ask me where I heard it, and it doesn't sound very politically correct, but the bread looks amazing :-)

    Hello, my friend! I must say that I am very intrigued by this bread. I never would have thought to combine cheddar cheese and apples together. Thank you for sharing and I really must try it soon :)

    Also, I LOVE your "new" bathroom. Wow, what a transformation. The black accent wall is perfect and looks great with the floor. Beautiful job, my friend.

    Hugs to you!
