Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and grease and flour a 9 X 5-inch loaf
pan. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and
cinnamon. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the
milk, oil, and eggs. Stir until thoroughly combined. Gently stir in the
chopped apples, cheddar cheese, and nuts. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes in
the preheated oven until loaf is browned and sounds hollow when tapped on
the bottom. Cool in the pan on a rack for 5 minutes. Remove from the pan
and cool to room temperature, on a wire rack, before slicing.
