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.
