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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the diced apple, cranberries, and walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
