Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 900g loaf tin with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together the low-fat plain yogurt, honey, egg whites, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 4
Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 5
Add the chopped dried apricots, raisins, dried cranberries, and orange zest to the mixture, along with the water. Stir until the fruit is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the tin for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Slice and serve the fruit loaf as a delightful low-fat snack or dessert.
