Add the warm water, maple syrup, and softened butter to the breadmaker pan.
Sprinkle the salt over the liquid ingredients.
Add the bread flour, whole wheat flour, and ground cinnamon to the pan, ensuring the flour covers the liquid entirely.
Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast. Ensure the yeast does not come into contact with the liquid ingredients.
Place the breadmaker pan in the breadmaker and set it to the 'Basic' or 'Sweet' bread setting (for a 1 1/2 lb loaf).
Choose the desired crust color (light, medium, or dark) based on your preference.
Press 'Start' to begin the breadmaking process.
When the breadmaker signals (typically during the kneading phase), add the chopped prunes and walnuts.
Allow the breadmaker to complete the cycle (kneading, rising, and baking).
Once the bread is done, carefully remove it from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
