Aged Cheddar-Apple Nut Bread

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 350°F.
2. Cream butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating each until blended. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in another bowl; gradually add to butter mixture. Fold in apples, walnuts and cheddar. (Batter will be stiff.)
3. Transfer to a greased 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in pan before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
