I came across this in the St.Pete times yesterday. I like Cranberry desserts that do not have orange in them, so I immediately made this. The only thing I did different was shred the apples instead of slicing them them ( I was afraid they might come out mushy) and I gave the cranberries a whirl in the food processor so I didn't have big chunks of them in the cake. This was really a great cake! I topped it with whip cream, Yum!

Excellent and very different from anything I've had before. Not at all sweet and the cranberries added a nice tartness. Kind of a cross between a dense cake and a quick bread. I made a half recipe but otherwise followed the recipe. I did cut the apple slices into thirds and will probably do a coarse chop next time. I wondered about the whole cranberries but they were perfect! The brown sugar and spices added a perfect flavor to the apples, nuts, and berries. Served with a big dollop of whipped cream but I think a scoop of vanilla ice cream would be yummy too. Definitely a repeater! Me likey!
