Cheddar Apple Nut Bread

Submitted by Susie in Texas

"Pure comfort food! Wonderful addition to a large breakfast or brunch. Delicious anytime. Best when served warm. Note the recipe calls for sharp cheddar but medium or mild cheddar could be used. Do not use American cheese or processed cheese food, such as Velveeta, because they will not work in this recipe."

Soooo goood... and pretty easy to put together. I was worried about how thick the batter was, but there was nothing to worry about. I used buttermilk because that's all I had and it worked perfectly!

Delicious! Slightly sweet, very moist. Didn't have walnuts, so used almonds instead. I'll make this again. Diane

Nice recipe! I used half white flour and half whole wheat, and walnuts. I also added 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper to give it a little kick...next time I'll use a full teaspoon. This is a dense heavy loaf, perfect for brunch or breakfast. A little soft cream cheese on top is nice. Thanks for the recipe! Very easy to make!
