Asiago, Apple and Rosemary Bread image

For this savory loaf tart apples, like Gravenstein, work well but use what you have and like. Using your food processor to shred the cold butter, Asiago cheese, and apples, in that order will speed things along. It's not necessary to peel the apples unless you just want to.
