Apple Cheddar Rosemary Bread ~
Sweet and savory, dairy-free beer bread with the classic flavor combination of apples, cheddar cheese, and fresh rosemary.
Guaranteed to make your house smell like fall!
The early morning hours are beginning to get a little cooler here with just the tiniest hint of fall in the air.
That’s all it takes for me.
I don’t care that we’re sweltering by afternoon, I’ve already switched gears.
Bring on apple season!
What type of apples should I use?
Gala apples have a slight pop of vanilla flavor so that’s what I like to use for this bread but, really, your favorite variety or whatever you have on hand will work fine.
What kind of beer should I use?
You want a light beer that’s not going to overpower in taste or color. I used a pale ale from a local brewery.
Apple ale is also a good choice.
What to serve with Apple Cheddar Rosemary Bread:
- Baked Potato Soup – this bread is made for potato soup!

How to make Apple Cheddar Rosemary Bread:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Mix the dry ingredients. Into a large mixing bowl, sift all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Stir in the beer. Pour in beer then stir to combine.
Add the remaining ingredients. Add diced apple, cheddar cheese, and rosemary. Stir until all ingredients are fully incorporated. The dough will be very thick and sticky.
Prep and bake. Into a prepared 9-inch x 5-inch loaf pan, add the dough in an even layer. Bake for 55 minutes.
Add butter and continue baking. Remove bread from the oven and brush the melted butter. Return the bread to the oven and continue cooking for an additional 3 minutes.
Cool, slice, and serve. Remove the finished bread from the loaf pan. Set onto a cooling rack and allow to cool before slicing.
Enjoy!
