This weekend is our final weekend for fall soccer. The older the boys get the longer the seasons seem to be. I truly love watching soccer, but by the end of the season I am ready for it to be over! The end of soccer season means more time at home and more time for baking!

Can I freeze this bread?

Yes! This is a perfect bread to make ahead of time and store in the freezer! To freeze bread, allow bread to fully cool. Slice bread and then place in a freezer safe bag.  Use frozen bread within 1 month of freezing for best results.

Between regular league games and tournaments we travel quite extensively for the boys' games. That is just what seems to happen when you live in a small town. Today's trip is an hour and a half  each way. I always pack up snacks for the trips. Today they are getting this cranberry apple bread. It has tart fresh cranberries and chunks of apples with a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg.

Do I use fresh or dried cranberries?

This recipe uses fresh cranberries.

    Now this looks like a great bread to have on Thanksgiving. So good to see cranberries in something other than sauce...although I like that too. ?

    I've been eating Thomas's cranberry bread every morning, but homemade and with apples sounds sooo much better! I'd love to enjoy a warm slice with a little bit of butter and my coffee 🙂

    Lucky boys to get this delicious bread Kathy! Our soccer season just ended too and we have significant travel in the mix as well. I'm relieved that Saturdays will be freed up some, but basketball starts next week! I love your combination of cranberries and apples in this yummy bread. It screams fall!! 🙂 I love Fall. Thanks for such a delicious seasonal recipe. Have a great week!

    This is the ideal loaf of bread to go with that Thanksgiving turkey! And so much nicer than a quick bread made from a box (although I confess I have sunk that low before, hehe) I need to bring these to a few of our looming Thanksgiving festivities cropping up!

      Sometimes we just have to do what we have to do! No worries about a box...although homemade quick bread doesn't take too much more work! 😉
