Apple Banana Bread

We took the kids apple picking last weekend, and I couldn't wait to start baking with our selection!  My husband has been asking for an apple pie, and I'll get there, but I needed something easy to do that first night.

I loved this recipe because it gave me a use for some of the bananas in my freezer.  It was nice and sweet and made a great breakfast the next morning.

  7. I just made this with my two girls, we added 1/2 a cup more of sugar (we are big on sweets in this house ;) ) and also added chopped walnuts, also I find if you combine the vanilla in the bananas it holds the flavor better. YUM! 5 out of 5 children loved it! INSTANT HIT! :)
