This Apple Cranberry Bread with Streusel would make a great addition to your breakfast table. They even would make great holiday gifts!
How is your week going? Getting ready for turkey day? I'm sure you are all thinking about your main course but what about breakfast? You probably don't want to fuss too much so having some quick breads on hand are a perfect alternative. This Apple Cranberry Bread is sweet, extremely moist and just the right amount of spice. Not only are these great to have on hand but would also make a great holiday or hostess gift. So let's get your baking on! Are you with me?
Apparently we liked this so much that I need to make a couple more loaves as these disappeared rather fast. I would cut a slice, then kept going back for a little more, and a little more. I wasn't alone either, the DIY Guy was doing the same!
