When I think of good afternoon snacks or sweet treats to enjoy on a slow morning, I think of quick breads. Quick breads are easy, two-bowl only, recipes that involve no yeast and can be personalized easily to turn any day into a special occasion. From classic banana breads to chocolate zucchini bread, and now this spiced apple walnut bread, everyone needs a great quick bread recipe in their repertoire.

This spiced apple walnut bread has quickly become a family favorite and the warm fall spices just make it perfect to pair with a cup of coffee on a crisp morning. Moist, spiced bread is filled with baked apple pieces, crunchy walnuts and sweet dried cranberries for a seasonal favorite.
