Tips:

  • Choose the Right Apples: Use firm and tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp to balance the sweetness of the cranberries and nuts.
  • Fresh Cranberries or Dried Cranberries: You can use either fresh or dried cranberries in this recipe. If using dried cranberries, soak them in hot water for about 10 minutes before adding them to the batter.
  • Measure Your Flour Correctly: To ensure the perfect texture, use a kitchen scale to measure your flour. Alternatively, fluff up the flour with a spoon before spooning it into the measuring cup, then level it off with a knife.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can result in a dense, dry bread. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined, being careful not to overdevelop the gluten.
  • Wait for a Cooling Period: Before slicing and serving, allow the bread to cool completely on a wire rack. This will help prevent the bread from crumbling and give the flavors time to meld together.

This Cranberry Apple Nut Bread is a delightful treat that combines the tangy sweetness of cranberries, the crisp freshness of apples, and the nutty crunch of walnuts.
