Ingredients

Bread:

  • cup vegetable or canola oil
  • ¼ cup applesauce
  • cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup finely chopped apple I left the skin on
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries I halved the larger berries

Topping:

  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped pecans
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

Bread:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5 loaf pan and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk oil, applesauce, sugar, eggs and vanilla.
  • In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Set aside ¼ cup of the dry ingredients. Add the remaining dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir with a spoon or rubber spatula until almost completely combined.
  • Toss the apples and cranberries with the reserved ¼ cup flour, then add to the batter. Stir carefully until fully combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.

Topping:

  • Stir together all topping ingredients until well combined. Crumble the topping over the batter.
  • Bake for 45-55 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
