Cranberries lend a burst of tart flavor and bright color to this quick bread sent in by Phyllis Schmalz of Kansas City, Kansas. Dotted with crunchy nuts, slices of the moist loaf are good for breakfast with a cup of coffee or as a snack anytime of the day.

I found that I needed to add some water to it in order to make it moist enough to spread into the pan.

I used extra apples than what the recipe called for and it was excellent. It is now my husbands favorite bread!

I have used this recipe several times and it always comes out great however before adding cranberries I soak them in 1/4 cup orange juice and add mixture . I always use a combo of macintosh and courtland apples. This is soooo good Nanellen

Not sure what would have gone wrong with quinton1's recipe because I have made this bread many times and it is my absolute favorite! (I can eat the whole loaf myself) I know that the batter is very, very thick and lumpy but it shouldn't be crumbly. I would suggest giving it another try because when it turns out the way it should it really is soooo delicious!
