Apple-Cheddar Bread

This is not a sweet bread, although it is lightly sweetened and delicious.  My husband and I couldn’t stay out of it.  So, so, good!!

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 egg yolk, beaten
• 1 apple, cored, peeled and diced
• 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a large mixing bowl.  Combine milk, oil, whole egg and egg yolk in a medium bowl; add to flour mixture, stirring just until moistened.  Gently fold in apple and cheese.

Divide batter between 2 greased 8″ x 4″ loaf pans.  Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 to 45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.  Cool in pans on a wire rack 10 minutes, remove from pans and cool completely.  Store in the refrigerator.  Makes 2 loaves.
