Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold)
- 1.5 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 medium Apple (peeled, cored, and finely chopped)
- 2 Eggs
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and granulated sugar.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the cold butter into the flour mixture until crumbly and resembling coarse sand.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and finely chopped apple until evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and honey until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly. Smooth the top gently with the back of a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Cheddar Apple Bread on its own or with a pat of butter!
