1/4 teaspoon of allspice
1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened

Instructions

Now that you have gathered all the necessary ingredients, it’s time to get started on making this delectable cranberry and apple bread:.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
Gently fold in the cranberries, diced apple, and walnuts (if desired), making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice, serve, and enjoy!
