Provided by Food Network

Time 1h25m

Yield 12 slices

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup rolled oats
1 1/4 cups milk
2 cups self-rising or wholegrain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
4 1/2 ounces dried cherries
1 1/2 ounces dried apples, diced
1/3 cup soft brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons honey, plus more for garnish
1 egg, lightly beaten
5 tablespoons coarsely chopped almonds
Fresh ricotta
Honey, for drizzling

Steps:

  • Put the oats in a bowl, pour over the milk, and leave them to soak for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Lightly grease and line the loaf pan with parchment paper, and set aside.
  • Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl. Then, stir in the rolled oats, dried cherries, dried apples, sugar, cinnamon, honey, egg and 3 tablespoons almonds, mixing everything together well. Spoon the mixture into the loaf pan, leveling the top, and sprinkling over the remaining almonds. Bake the loaf until the crust is golden brown and the interior is cooked, about 45 minutes.
  • Let it rest shortly in the pan before turning the loaf out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Cut off slices, toast and serve with some fresh ricotta and drizzles of honey.

I love this recipe! It's a great way to use up leftover apples and cherries. I also like that it's not too sweet. I've made it several times and it always turns out delicious.

I found that greasing and flouring the loaf pan really helped to prevent the loaf from sticking. I also let the loaf cool completely before slicing it, which made it easier to cut.

I was really looking forward to trying this recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The loaf was dry and crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time. Otherwise, the loaf was moist and flavorful.

I made this recipe vegan by using plant-based butter and eggs. The loaf turned out great! It was moist and flavorful, and it had a lovely crumb. I will definitely be making this again.

I made a few modifications to make this recipe healthier. I used whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour, and I reduced the amount of sugar. The loaf still turned out moist and flavorful, and it was a great way to get my daily dose of fruits a

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out delicious. I usually add a handful of chopped walnuts for extra crunch. My kids love it too.

This apple-cherry-almond loaf was a delightful surprise! The combination of flavors was perfect, and the texture was moist and nutty. I added a glaze made from powdered sugar and milk to give it an extra bit of sweetness. My family loved it!
