Apple chunks, sharp Cheddar cheese, and fresh rosemary are a great savory and sweet combination in this beer bread. It’s especially good with soup or chili. I used an apple ale, but you may use your favorite beer.
serves 8
cooking spray
3 cups self-rising flour
3 tablespoons white sugar
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer
1 medium apple, diced
1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 9×5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
Sift flour, sugar, and rosemary together into a large mixing bowl. Stir in beer until combined. Stir in apple and Cheddar cheese until well combined; batter will be stiff and sticky. Scoop batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden brown, 55 to 60 minutes. Remove from oven; pour melted butter on top. Bake 3 to 5 minutes more.
