Ingredients

• cooking spray
• 3 cups self-rising flour
• 3 Tbs white sugar
• 2 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
• 1 (12 fl oz) can or bottle beer
• 1 med apple, diced
• ½ cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
• 1 Tbs melted butter

Directions

• Step 1
  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9×5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.

• Step 2
  Sift flour, sugar, and rosemary together into a large mixing bowl. Pour in beer; stir to combine. Stir in apple and Cheddar cheese until well combined; batter will be stiff and sticky. Scoop batter into the prepared loaf pan.

• Step 3
  Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden brown, 55 to 60 minutes. Remove from oven and pour melted butter on top. Return to oven and bake for another 3 to 5 minutes more.

Tip:  Especially good with soup or chili. Try using an apple ale instead of the beer.
