    1. For bread: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a 8-cavity mini loaf pan with non-stick vegetable pan spray.
    2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Mix well.
    3. In a separate large bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla.
    4. Alternately add the flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
    5. Stir in apples and chopped cranberries. Divide the batter evenly into the prepared pan, filling each cavity nearly full.
    6. Bake for 26-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool loaves in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove the loaves from the pan and cool completely.
    7. For glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar and cranberry juice. Drizzle the sugar glaze over the loaves as desired.

    Notes

    • Substitute for the cranberry juice in the glaze: While it won't have the pretty pink color or flavor, you can substitute milk or water for the cranberry juice in a pinch.

      To freeze: Once cooled, wrap each loaf in plastic wrap then aluminum foil. Frozen this way, the loaves should last up to a month.
