Apple-Cheddar Bread

I make this bread all the time and love it.  I've never had it turn out dry and the flavors all mix together nicely.  It's great with soups or toasted with butter.  Try using buttermilk to keep it moist and a metal loaf pan to make it crusty and maybe you'll like it better.  

Suggestions:

Would be better without Rosemary

Add brown sugar, nutmeg and vanilla

Use a sweeter apple such as honey crisp or red delicious

I was very disappointed with the recipe

Thought the recipe sounded great, but it was very disappointing.  Not much flavor and dry. I thought I must have missed something in recipe or something was left out of recipe, but I guess not.  Threw it away after one slice. Lesson learned, read the reviews before trying the recipe.

Reading the ingredients I thought this would be a winner.  Unfortunately, these did not come together well. No cheesy or apple taste.  The bacon gave it a strange texture. The rosemary was over powering.

Like others mind went into the garbage.

I was very excited about this recipe when it came out in the September issue. I was disappointed to find that it was very bland despite all of the ingredients in it. It was also a little on the dry side. I had to throw most of the loaf away since no one in my family would eat it after their initial try.

I made it this morning and thought it was very good.  I did add some dried cranberries and used sugar glazed pecans instead of toasted pecans.  I did not add rosemary because I do not care for the flavor of it. This is not a sweet bread, and would be good served warm with soup, as a snack or at breakfast with scrambled eggs. 

Don't waste your time or money. Made this today, followed directions and ingredient list exactly. It was terrible.
