Apple Banana Bread
About This Recipe
“This is my adopted recipe and have just made it last Saturday 10th September 2005.It is a light moist bread/cake with just a hint of cinnamon.I baked it in a ring tin which took 50mins to cook.Keep an eye on cooking time because using a different tin does make a difference.Cook too long and it will be a little drier.Also leave in tin for about 5 mins before turning out onto a rack to cool completely.I used this first as dessert while it was still warm.I put slices into dessert dishes and topped with custard and whipped cream. The remaining cake I used cold, sliced.You could also use the cold slices topped with a dollop of whipped cream for a special treat with a hot cup of coffee or tea, or serve slices lightly buttered, or just plain.Hope you enjoy it whichever way you choose to serve it.Thanks goes to the person who posted this recipe originally and I am happy to have adopted it.:)”

“What a produce saver.I was already baking and realized I had some bananas that were about to be tossed and stumbled on this recipe.I used 2 very ripe bananas and 2 Red Delicious apples, shredded with peels on.I also added 1/2 t salt, 3/4 t cinnamon(habit, i guess) and baked in 4 disposable mini loaf pans for 50 min.Excellent.Very moist and fragrant.Combinations of fruit are endless.Thanks for the posting.”
“I had 3 very very ripe bananas and two apples that were about ready to pitch. I came across this recipe and it was a nice change from plain old banana bread. Thank-you,a nice little surprise snack for my husbands coffee break!”
“This was a very good and ‘banana-ey’ bread.The apples made it very moist… I followed Deborah’s additional spice additions, and it came out fantastically.Baked in 45 minutes in 4 mini-loaf pans.”
“I prepared this recipe using 2 small Granny Smith apples and 2 medium bananas, and baked it in a bundt pan (bakes in about 45 minutes).It turned out great and is very moist and flavorful! I will definitely use this recipe again.”
“OH MY!! This was soooo good.My husband absolutely loves banana bread and this had just the right amount of banana flavor.Thanks for posting.”
“What a great recipe! My husband made it a couple days ago and again today.We also added an additional banana. We will be making this often and sharing the recipe.Thanks!”
“This bread taste so good… I just made it and love it.A must try recipe:) Thanks!”
“I’m always looking for recipes that use up things like the last banana that no one seems to want. This fit the bill very nicely one day, I used more cinnamon than that since I am a cinnamon freak…Thanks”
“I made this bread to take on an out of town trip to a football game where several other couples were joining us.Everyone loved it.It’s moist and not too sweet.I especially liked it in the morning with my coffee. “
“This bread is great and so easy to make. I made some subsitutions because I was out of some of the ingredients. Instead of sour cream I used 1/4 cup of sour milk, instead of cinnamon I used 1/2 tsp of cardamom, and instead of walnuts (my ds doesn’t eat nuts) I used raisins. Even with these changes the bread came out fantastic and we all loved it. I will definitely be making this delicious bread again.”
“Definitely needs 1/2 tsp salt. I used 1 1/2 apples and it is alittle moist for my liking. Good taste, however. Carole in Orlando”
“this was sooooo good, even my husband who is pretty picky eater liked this. Will definitely make this again!”
“totally wonderful! have made this twice now, (on request) made them into small loaves, using “throw-a-way alfoil trays. Took some to the hospital for Sam to munch. She “says” she hasnt got a sweet tooth, but told me not to lose this recipe!It is a very sweet loaf, so the small slices were just right. The grand-girls (2 and 4) wanted theirs with butter.2nd time around I chopped the apples smaller, and added a little more cinnamon. this is a true keeper for me, and Samantha, (I will make her rate it too )made for Aussie swap july 2010″
“Love this recipe
I usedYogurt instead of sour cream
And skins almonds instead of Walnuts”
“I subbed applesauce for the butter, used Gala apples, added cinnamon, nutmeg & cardamom; used Sucanat and cut the sugar in half, used 1/2 ww flour and 1/4 cup wheat germ. Made four small loaves. wish I had remembered to add some salt, but very tasty.”
“Delicious & easy. First bread I’ve ever made & it turned out wonderful. The apples added a little extra to the traditional banana bread.”
“Very good although I made a lot of changes. I added 1/2 tsp salt, used only 1/2 cup dark brown sugar and left out the granulated sugar completely. I also used 2 very ripe bananas and 3 very small apples. I subbed sour cream with heavy whipping cream (what I had at the time). I also added only 3 tbsp of macadamia nuts (didn’t have walnut). The level of sweetness was just right for me. Next time I will add 1-2 tbsp more nuts. My baking time was about 50 mins.”
“My first banana bread. It was very moist and tasty. Will make again.”
“love this. have made it over and over again as muffins usually with 2 bananas and one apple. i like to add a little extra cinnamon and a tbsp or 2 of honey. next time i’m going to try with wheat flour and a crumble top for the muffins.”
“I made this using 1 apple and 2 bananas instead.Also, didn’t have walnuts, so I used pecans.It was awesome and very moist.I made the loaf this morning for “breakfast” and it was gone by 1 p.m.!!(I shared with my husband, of course).YUM!”
