Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese.
• In another bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in diced and grated apples.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
• Bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
