This goes into my 10-STAR book! Great bread. Very moist and not too sweet. I make a similar apple bread without cranberries, but will be making this one instead from now on! Love the tartness of the cranberries and the Granny Smith apples I used. I subbed pecans for the walnuts. -
I made this for Thanksgiving. I was going to make muffins but was running short on time so I chose this recipe instead. I'm glad that I did! I like the combination of apples, cranberries and walnuts. The bread was easily put together and the end result was moist and flavorful. Thank you for posting this recipe!

It's true that the dough is very thick. I decided to do muffins with this recipe. I baked them at 350 F for 25 minutes. Each muffin looked like there was too much chunks of apples and cranberries but at the end, the muffins were looking great and were moist. I used only 1/2 cup sugar. I omitted the nuts. Thanks Melissa :) Made for the Pink Event -
Great bread!! I used 2 large granny smith apples, and substituted pecans for walnuts. There was more fruit than batter!! But it baked up beautifully - everyone loved it. Will be making again this morning! Thanks for a great recipe. -
Very very good bread!! I followed it exactly but I used 1 big Fuji apple and cooked for about 50 minutes. We love it!

I made a few changes to the recipe but it still turned out great. I only had dried cranberries, so I rehydrated them in some water first. Also because the cranberries were sweetened and another reviewer only used 1/2 c sugar I also decreased the sugar. I used Sucinat, dehydrated cane juice, instead of white sugar. Finally I used whole wheat flour instead of white flour. The whole wheat absorbs more liquid so I had to add 1/4 c of skim milk to the dough, but it still baked perfectly and was moist and delicious. -
