How to Bake Apple Cranberry Bread: A Perfect Fall Recipe!

Описание: This is a delicious quick bread that is perfectly sweet and very simple to put together. I love the combination of the apple, pecans, orange zest and cranberries! The yogurt and the oil also makes this bread very moist. It’s best enjoyed warm with a cup of tea or coffee- making it the perfect breakfast or brunch treat. Feel free to smear a slice with butter for added richness 😊
 
Dry Ingredients
1 ¼ cups flour
¾ cup sugar
1 tsp each baking powder, salt, cinnamon
½ tsp baking soda
 
Mix-Ins
½ cup chopped pecans (plus extra for sprinkling on top)
½ cup quick oats
½ cup chopped dried cranberries
 
Wet Ingredients
1 cup chopped apple
½ cup vegetable oil/ melted butter
½ cup yogurt/ sour cream
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp orange zest
 
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.
2. In a bowl measure and prepare dry ingredients. Add mix-ins (oats, pecans, cranberries) to bowl with dry ingredients and stir to incorporate.
3. In a separate bowl prepare wet ingredients.
4. Then stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Spread the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle with additional chopped pecans.
6. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean- about 40 to 55 minutes and the bread is golden brown.
7. Cool bread in pan on a wire rack for about 10 minutes, then turn onto the rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm.
