Ingredients

1 stick Unsalted Organic Butter
1/4 cups White Granulated Sugar
1/4 cups Light Brown Sugar
3 whole Organic Eggs
2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
1/2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
1/2 teaspoons Ground Allspice
1/2 teaspoons Ground Cinammon
1/4 teaspoons Ground Nutmeg
1/4 teaspoons Ground Cloves
1/2 cups Organic Whole Milk Or 2%
2 whole Granny Smith Apples, Grated
1/2 cups Walnuts, Chopped
1/2 cups Roasted (Unsalted) Whole Pepitas
3/4 cups Cranberries

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and line a loaf tin.
2

Cream butter and sugar till pale. Add the eggs one at a time, beating and scraping sides between each addition.
3

Sift flour and spices into a bowl, then add flour mixture to the butter, slowly along with the milk.
4

Once the mixture comes together, add the grated apples (see note below). Fold in nuts, seeds and cranberries. Place in the loaf tin and bake for 1 hour 15 minutes, on the center rack of the oven. Remove from the oven and let the loaf stand in the tin for 5 minutes before turning out. Allow to cool before slicing.

Note: I peeled and quartered my apples, then put them in the food processor and pulsed until coarsely chopped. Do this step after you have added the eggs, or the apples will start to turn brown.
