Found this recipe many years ago in a magazine and hadn't made it since. This time, I used tart apples and sharp cheddar cheese. Really good!

A rich fall flavored bread that has delighted all who tasted it. As a rule I do not read the reviews before making but this time did and am glad I did as it did lead to me increasing the cheese a bit using 3/4 of cup. Will make this flavorful well balanced bread exactly the same way again. Thanks for the post.

This bread is delicious! I was concerned because the "batter" was so thick but it turned out perfectly. This was most enjoyed warm from the oven - no butter required! I would at least double the cheese next time because it's the one thing that I didn't really taste. Also, I used skim milk, low fat cheese and Recipe #5274 for the flour. Made for Almost 5 tag game. Thanks loof! :)

Almost followed your recipe right on down, but was very generous with the measuring of the cheese, & we had ourselves a really outstanding treat, for sure! I slathered my first slice with some homemade apple butter, while my other half used a bit of cream cheese! However you do it, the bread itself is very, very satisfying & certainly the recipe is a keeper! [Made & reviewed in 1-2-3 Hits tag]

This is an awesome recipe, loof!<br/>My sis and me loved it and ate the whole loaf all by ourselves. lol<br/>The cheese goes great with the apples and cinnamon and adds just that special something. My bread turned out way moister than in the pics even though I only used 1/4 cup oil, it was more a cake than a bread. Very yummy!<br/>Since we like our cakes/breads on the less sweet side, I only used 1/4 cup sugar and that was perfect for us. Next time I might follow Annacia's lead and use applesauce in place of the oil and then reduce the sugar a tad more as well.<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this tasty treat with us, loof!<br/>Made and reviewed for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders Tag Game September 2010.
