Ingredients

Bread

1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar light or dark
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs room temperature
6 tbsp butter melted and cooled
1 lemon juice and zest
2/3 cup buttermilk
1 cup cranberries chopped (fresh or frozen)
1/2 cup apple chopped

Streusel Topping

1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup brown sugar light or dark
1/4 tsp cinnamon
4 tbsp butter cold, chopped

Lemon Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp milk plus 1 if needed

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 5 loaf pan. You can also line it with parchment paper as I often do and then spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Combine the dry bread ingredients together in a large bowl. Whisk to combine.
In a medium-size bowl, combine eggs, lemon juice and zest, buttermilk and melted butter
Pour liquid ingredients into dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Fold in cranberries and apple.
Pour into loaf pan
For Streusel Topping, combine flour, sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in cold butter using two forks until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle over bread.
Bake for 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Turn pan halfway through baking. Cool completely in the pan on a wire cooling rack.
Remove bread from pan. Combine glaze ingredients. Add additional milk if glaze is too thick to drizzle over bread.
