This delicious, moist bread is chock full of fruit, fiber and flavor. It's a great holiday bread.

Preheat oven to 350F.

Lightly oil a 4 x 8: loaf pan or spray with nonstick spray.

In a large bowl, combine both flours, baking power, baking soda, and cinnamon. Mix well. Add apricots, figs, raisins, and nuts.

In another bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Beat with a fork or wire whisk until blended. Add to dry mixture, mixing until all ingredients are moistened. Place mixture in prepared pan.

Bake 35 min, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean.

Cool in pan on wire rack 10 min, then turn out onto rack to finish cooling.
