Today’s recipe is in honor of Fall, and although I haven’t baked it looks yummy as all get out! It’s got bacon and apples and cheddar cheese, who could ask for anything more!

hands-on: 25 mins
total: 2 hrs
Yield: Makes 1 loaf
Ingredients:
1 Âľ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon table salt
â…› teaspoon ground red pepper
4 thick bacon slices, cooked and crumbled
1 cup peeled and diced Granny Smith apple (about 1 small apple)

Directions:
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°. Whisk together flour and the next 3 ingredients in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Stir together bacon and the next 4 ingredients in a medium bowl. Whisk together eggs, milk, and oil in a small bowl.
Step 2
Add egg mixture to flour mixture, and stir just until dry ingredients are moistened; stir in bacon mixture just until incorporated. Transfer dough to a greased (with shortening) and floured 8 1/2- x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan.
Step 3
Bake at 350° for 55 minutes to 1 hour or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean, shielding bread with aluminum foil after 40 to 45 minutes to prevent excessive browning. Cool bread in a pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan, and cool 30 minutes before slicing.
