Apricot Raisin Loaf image

This is a great flavorful loaf with plenty of fruits. Wait a day or two before cutting so it will be easy to cut. It will also have a better flavor.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my loaf turned out dry and crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This loaf is perfect for breakfast or a snack. It's also a great way to use up leftover apricots and raisins.

I'm not a big fan of apricots, but I really enjoyed this loaf. The raisins and spices balanced out the tartness of the apricots perfectly.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The loaf was dry and dense, and the apricots and raisins were barely noticeable.
