Description

This beer bread is perfectly balanced with sweet chunks of apple and savory Cheddar cheese and fresh rosemary — the perfect side for soup or chili.

Ingredients

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 melted butter

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
2 Sift flour, sugar, and rosemary together into a large bowl. Stir in beer until combined. Stir in apple and Cheddar cheese until well combined; batter will be stiff and sticky. Transfer batter to the prepared loaf pan.
3 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.
