Applesauce Cranberry Bread Recipe

Hi friends! Are you ready for something DELICIOUS today? I sure hope so because I’m ready to share something that I absolutely LOVE baking up for my little family… especially this time of year!

Since I’m working on my personal goal of 30 days of thanks this fall season, I recently decided that any baking I do this month, will be passed on to someone else.

Recently I made this delicious cranberry bread with applesauce and hand delivered the loaves to the cops at the base gate. I’m guessing by the huge smile on the receiving guy’s face, I pretty much made their day. Which in turn, totally made my day as well. It was a win win for everyone.

So on that note {and enough chit chat from me} below is the easy applesauce cranberry bread recipe so you can ALSO MAKE AND SHARE this delicious treat with friends & family today! If you are inspired to recreate a few apple cranberry bread loaves today, come share your thoughts of it on our Facebook page! I would love to hear your thoughts on it! I’ll let you get to it now. Happy baking, my dear friends! #gluedtomycrafts
