Apple Banana Bread

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.

    OMG!! This is so FREAKING GOOD!!! I just made this recipe for a quick breakfast tomorrow morning. I substituted the sour cream for vanilla yougart (I happened to have it on hand) and substituted the butter for canola oil. I also didn't have brown sugar so I mixed my organic sugar with a table spoon of Black Treacle (molasses). I baked these in HUGE muffin tins that I have and WOW! I can't wait to surprise my DW when she comes home. Good Job Jen T!

    I agree that this bread is delicious! It's moist but light, and the cinnamon flavor is just enough to add interest but not overpower. I baked it in 4 mini pans which tested done in 48 minutes. I used 2 Royal Gala apples and 2 medium sized VERY ripe bananas. I think this would make a great dessert cake. The next time I make it I'll sprinkle 1/2 cup of chopped pecans in the bottom of a bundt pan (they'll bake into the top of the cake to make a nice topping), and I'll also add a praline glaze once the cake has cooled. (Glaze - Mix 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar and 1/2 cup butter in a saucepan over medium low heat. Cook, stirring, until the mixture starts to boil. Boil gently for 1 minute, stirring constantly, then remove from heat and continue to stir for about a minute until the glaze is smooth. Pour over the top of the cake and let it dribble down the sides.)

    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.
