Apple Cheese Bread

This is a new recipe I tried recently and really like.

1 stick of butter, softened

1/2 cup sugar 

2 large eggs

2 cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups grated Granny Smith apples

3/4 cup grated Cheddar

1/2 cup chopped nuts

Preheat the oven to 350 and grease a 9 x 5 loaf pan.  In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until fluffy.  Beat in the eggs one at a time.  In a medium bowl, whisk the flour with the baking powder, baking soda, and salt.  Add the flour to the butter mixture and stir until well mixed.  Stir in the apple, Cheddar and nuts.  Spoon into prepared pan.  Bake one hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.  Cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then remove to a rack to continue cooling.
