Ingredients
– 2/3 cup vegetable oil
– 1 cup sugar
– 2 eggs
– 2 teaspoons vanilla
– 1 3/4 cups flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon cinnamon
– 1 cup chopped apples (peeled, cored, approximately 1/4 inch squares)
– 1 cup halved fresh cranberries
– 1/4 cup flour for tossing with fruit
– 1/4 cup brown sugar for crumb topping
– 1/4 cup flour for crumb topping
– 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon for crumb topping
– 1/4 cup oats for crumb topping
– 3 tablespoons melted butter for crumb topping
– 1 cup powdered sugar for icing
– 2-3 tablespoons milk for icing
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla for icing
– 1 3/4 cups flour
– 2 eggs
– 1 cup sugar
Instructions
1-Preheat your oven: Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Grease a 9ร5 inch loaf pan to prevent the bread from sticking.
2-In a large bowl: whisk together 2/3 cup vegetable oil, 1 cup sugar, 2 eggs, and 2 teaspoons vanilla until well combined.
3-In a separate bowl: whisk together 1 3/4 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
4-In a small bowl: toss 1 cup chopped apples and 1 cup halved fresh cranberries with 1/4 cup flour until the fruit is coated.
5-Add the dry ingredients: from step 3 to the wet ingredients from step 2. Stir until just barely combined to avoid overmixing.
6-Gently fold the flour-coated fruit mixture: into the batter until fully incorporated. The batter will be thick, which helps hold the moisture.
7-Spoon or scoop the thick batter: into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
8-For the crumb topping: in a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 cup oats. Stir in 3 tablespoons melted butter until crumbly, then sprinkle evenly over the batter.
9-Bake: for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
10-Cool the bread: in the pan for 5 minutes, then carefully turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
11-For the icing: in a small bowl, whisk 1 cup powdered sugar, 2-3 tablespoons milk (start with 2 and add more for desired consistency), and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled bread before slicing.
