Servings: 2 Loaves
Ingredients
Bread
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3-4 medium bananas or 2 large bananas
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Apple Pie Filling
- 1 large apple diced into small pieces
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 tsp cinnamon
Cinnamon Vanilla Glaze
- 1 1/2 - 2 Tbsp milk or heavy cream
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350. Grease two 8x4 pans.
Apple Filling
- On med-low heat, cook apple filling mixture for about 3-4 minutes. Pull off heat and allow to cool.
Bread
- In a small bowl, mash bananas. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream butter, sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add in vanilla extract, and mix.
- Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, and stir until just combined.
- Add in mashed bananas and cooled apple filling, and mix until combined. Pour into prepared loaf pans, dispersing the batter evenly between the two.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs stuck to it.
- Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Move to a wire cooling rack.
Cinnamon Vanilla Glaze
- Mix together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and 1 1/2 Tbsp of milk or heavy cream. If the glaze is thicker than your desired preference, add in the last 1/2 Tbsp of milk or heavy cream.
- Pour the glaze evenly over both loaves. Allow the glaze to harden completely before cutting into slices.
- Enjoy!
