Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Apple (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 1 cup Fresh cranberries (or frozen, thawed)
- 0.5 cup Walnuts (optional, chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and lightly dust it with flour, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the diced apple, cranberries, and walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
