Apple Cheese Bread
Ingredients
- 2-¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ¼ cup (½ stick) butter, melted
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup milk
- 1-½ cups grated cheddar cheese
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and grated, tossed with 2 tablespoons sugar
- ⅔ cup apple jelly
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Into a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, and sugar. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, beaten egg, and milk; set aside. Mix the cheese and apples into the dry ingredients. Add the milk mixture and stir only until the batter is evenly moistened. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake for 35 minutes, then lower the heat to 325°F. Continue baking until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about another 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small pan over low heat, melt the apply jelly. When the bread is done, remove it from the oven and pour the melted jelly over the top. Let cool in the pan until the jelly sets, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Makes 1 loaf.
