Ingredients
1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon apple pie spice
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs , beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups apples, peeled, cored and chopped
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup chopped nuts ( I used pecans)
Zest of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon sugar mied with 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon ( for topping)
Directions
Coat the inside of a 9X5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Cover the two long side and bottom of the pan with a strip of parchment paper. The parchment paper will help to lift the bread from the pan and the end of the cooling time. Spray the parchment paper.
In a small bowl combine the flour,salt, baking soda and spices.
In a large mixing bowl combine the sugar and oil, add the beaten eggs to the sugar and oil one egg at a time.
Add the vanilla and almond extract and mix well.
Stir in the apple, raisins, cranberries, lemon zest and chopped nuts.
Add the dry ingredients, spices and mix well until the flour is thoroughly incorporated.
Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top with a rubber spatula.
Place in a preheated 325 degree oven and bake for 20 minutes.
Take the bread out of the oven and sprinkle the top with the sugar and cinnamon mix.
Return to the oven and bake for 60 minutes or until the bread test done in the center. If the top gets to brown before the bread is done, cover the pan with foil.
Remove to a baking rack to rest before removing from the loaf pan.  The loaf needs to be completely cool or it will split open.
Let the loaf completely cool before slicing.
Enjoy!

    1. Hi Jo May,
      I am sure you could use a sugar substitute, however you will want to increase the flour to 1 1/2 cups. It should work, but I haven't tried it that way. You might try using applesauce instead of the oil and use a little sugar substitute but you would still need to increase the flour. Let me know how it works for you. Thanks for stopping by and have a great evening!
