A delightful loaf combining the tartness of cranberries with the sweetness of apples, enhanced by the crunch of walnuts.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the loaf inside for even baking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and oil until smooth.
Whisking thoroughly helps to incorporate air, making the loaf lighter.
In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
Sifting the dry ingredients can help prevent lumps and ensure even mixing.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to prevent the loaf from becoming dense.
Fold in the diced apples, cranberries, and walnuts.
Gently folding ensures the add-ins are evenly distributed without deflating the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Check the loaf at the 60-minute mark to avoid overbaking.
Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling on a wire rack prevents the bottom from becoming soggy.
Slice and serve the loaf as a delightful snack or dessert.
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of honey for added indulgence.
