Not all cakes and loaves need to be sweetened with sugar, nor do they need to be made with desserts in mind. Loaves lend themselves quite well to an afternoon tea or coffee break, especially if they are prepared to be savoury like in the case of this Apple and Cheese Bread!

Ingredients

1 1/2 cup diced apples (measure after the apples have been peeled and diced)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour,
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons honey
3 large eggs
1/3 cup apple juice
1/2 cup canola oil
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1/2 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped

Instructions

Prepare the apples by peeling them and cutting them into half-inch dice. Place them in a bowl and toss them well with the apple cider vinegar to prevent browning.
Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F.
Lightly grease a loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray. Set it aside.
Sift the flour with the baking powder and salt into a large bowl.
In a second bowl, whisk together the sour cream, honey, eggs, apple juice, and canola oil.
Slowly whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
Add the apples, shredded cheese, thyme leaves, and chopped rosemary to the batter. Fold in using a spatula until just incorporated.
Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake for about 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to rest in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a cooling rack to finish cooling.
