Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. To make bread, combine flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in a large bowl until well blended. In another large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and creamy. Beat un eggs, one at a time, until well blended. Alternately beat flour mixture and milk into butter-and-sugar mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Stir in cranberries, apples, and walnuts until just combined.

Turn into greased and floured 9x5-inch loaf pan. Bake about 50 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool bread 10 minutes in the pan on a wire rack. Remove loaf from pan and cool completely on rack. To make glaze, combine confectioners' sugar and milk in a bowl until smooth. Drizzle over bread. 1
