Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease or line six mini loaf pans.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In another bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, low-fat plain yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract.
Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the cranberries and orange zest until evenly distributed.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared mini loaf pans, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a loaf comes out clean.
While the loaves are cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar and orange juice in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the loaves have cooled for about 10 minutes, drizzle the glaze over the top of each loaf.
Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
