Cheddar Apple Bread
If you love fresh bread served alongside your meals, quick breads are your best friend. In one hour time (and some change) you can prepare, bake and enjoy fresh bread on your table. Since quick breads do not require yeast, there is no kneading or proofing required – easily cutting your preparation time in half.
