Mini Cranberry-Apple Bread  


If you do not have the time to make the breakfast wreaths, small individual loaves make ideal gifts to send home with guests. Wrap in clear plastic and tie with a pretty ribbon and small christmas ornament ball. Make extra for those times when friends drop by unexpectedly with a gift from their kitchens.

INGREDIENTS

1/2 stick sweet butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon peel
3 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups peeled and chopped Gala or Jonagold apples, cores removed
1 1/2 cups finely chopped cranberries (drained slightly)
3/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
 



METHOD

Preheat the oven to 350°. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, sour cream, and lemon peel. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add to the egg-and-butter mixture. Fold in the apples, cranberries, and walnuts.

Pour the mixture into 3 mini-loaf pans coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick, or 1 (10 1/2 x 5 1/2-inch). Bake for 1 hour or until tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Wrap in waxed paper and chill overnight. The bread slices best when chilled. Serve at room temperature.
