Apple-Cranberry Bread

I just love when the fresh cranberries show up in the supermarkets so I can make this bread.  It's sweet and tart and so satisfying.



Ingredients:

2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/12 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
2 cups peeled, diced tart apples
1 cup fresh OR frozen cranberries
(Optional - 1/2 cup chopped walnuts)

Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, sugar and oil.  In a medium mixng bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soad and salt.  Add dry mixture to wet until just combined (batter will be VERY thick.)  Stir in apples, cranberries (and nuts).
Transfer to a greased 8x4 inch loaf pan.  Bake at 350 degrees F for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.  Cool for 10 minutes in pan before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
