Ingredients Needed

For this recipe you'll need the following ingredients: 

Boxed Yellow Cake Mix: I used Betty Crocker Super Moist Yellow Cake Mix, but any brand will work. 

Pure Pumpkin Puree

Dried Cranberries

Shredded Apple: I used Pink Lady apples, but you can use McIntosh or Honeycrisp. To shred the apples, peel and core them; then grate the apple flesh against a box grater. 

Ground Cinnamon

Ground Nutmeg

Cooking Spray

Two slices of pumpkin bread on a white plate

How do you make Cranberry, Pumpkin and Apple Quick Bread?

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F; then coat a 9x5 loaf pan with cooking spray. In a large bowl, mix cake mix, pumpkin puree, shredded apples, cranberries and spices until smooth. 

Spoon the batter into the loaf pan, place in the middle oven rack; then back 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the middle of the bread. 

Remove the pan from the oven, allow to cool for 10 minutes; then transfer the bread out of the pan and onto a cooling rack to finish cooling completely. Once cooled, slice into 12 pieces. 

Storage

Store this Cranberry, Pumpkin and Apple Quick Bread at room temperature in a cool, dry place for up to three days. After that, the bread will need to be stored in the freezer. 

Once it's cooled, you can store the quick bread whole or in slices by wrapping it in foil; then sealing in a plastic resealable. The bread should stay fresh for up to 3 months.
