fresh pears and cinnamon, the other with cranberries and walnuts.

 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, combine flour, cinnamon,

allspice, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add apples, cranberries,

cereal and walnuts, and toss to coat.

minutes more, until wood pick inserted in center of loaf comes out clean.
