I just made this today. I tasted it so I could tell you how it was, even though I’m not supposed to eat wheat. It’s sooooo good! I’m definitely going to have to make a gluten free version!
CINNAMON APPLE BANANA BREAD
1 cup sugar
1/2 butter, softened
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
3 very ripe bananas
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
2 cups flour
2 apples, peeled, cored, and chopped.
Preheat oven to 350. Grease 2 bread pans.
In a large bowl, cream sugar and butter together. Add egg and vanilla, mix well. In another bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork, then add to the sugar mixture.
In a separate bowl, mix the baking soda & flour together. Add flour mixture to sugar mixture. Mix until all ingredients are moistened. Add chopped apples, stirring until they are incorporated into the batter.
Bake at 350 for one hour, covering the tops of the pans lightly with aluminum foil. Remove the foil, bake for 10 more minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the bread comes out clean.

Teresa Shovary says
Well, I read between the lines and was able to figure out what was supposed to happen and made two batches of this for the office and friends. Came out good and am making some more tonight to use up the bananas in the freezer. I have one apple left and then will sub in some shredded zucchini and nuts. Simple, easy and good.
Kelley H. says
My family had severe but allergies and I love to see a recipe for banana that doesn’t have nuts in it! Thank you!

Barbara says
A great alternative to the normal banana bread I usually make
lisa says
That’s a nice change of pace from the traditional banana bread. When apples are in season and we buy a bag I’m always looking for new ideas on how to use them.

I’m not very good when it comes to baking. I usually end up burning everything.
Leah says
This sounds so good! A perfect treat for this time of year when things get a little boring and you need something different.
lisa says
To some, bread is a classic comfort food. I personally can’t eat much bread because it gives me trouble. I get terribly bloated and full for the rest of the day. That’s after one slice.
Lisa Coomer Queen says
We have bread at every meal. Probably shouldn’t but we do. This will be a great addition!
cheryl c. says
Sounds delicious and easy to make!
Erin Hussman says
This looks great, I have tons of bananas. I get them on sale and freeze them.
Sunday is baking day for me – This is going on the list.
Thank you
lisa says
The bread looks a bit dark. I suppose it’s from the cinnamon. This would be good with a glaze or cream cheese frosting.
Linda Manns Linneman says
This looks and sounds so good. I really appreciate this recipe. Thank you so much

Baking bread takes practice. I’ve tried a couple of times to make home made bread. It should have been varnished and used as a doorstop.
Lori D. says

This sounds like it would make a good french toast. Or some kind of dessert. Maybe with a scoop of ice cream while it’s still warm.

Betty W says
WOW! That’s a great recipe incorporating two of my favorite fruits, apple and banana, then throw in some cinnamon and you’ve really taken it to the next level! Thank you for sharing your recipe for Cinnamon Apple Banana Bread!
lisa says
This recipe would be good with chopped nuts, and some chocolate or cinnamon chips in it. I suppose the banana makes the bread moist.
monique says
Anything with bananas are a big hit in my house. My family will eat anything banana related. I really like this recipe. I should try it as a good snack/treat this weekend.
Pam V H says
This would be a nice bread to mail to someone you care about.

You are making this pregnant lady drool right now! I love apple, cinnamon and banana, so the fact that they’re all hanging out together in this bread is really bad news for me. Thanks for sharing this yummy recipe, I WILL be making this, hopefully it turns out great!

Ughhh I remember what banana bread tasted like but them I became allergic to eggs and bananas 🙁 but this looks amazing. Wish I could figure a bread recipe like this (sweet almost desert bread) that didn’t have Egg or banana
Christina Strapp says
This sounds so good and something I will try. I have never made it with apples.
Lynn Shires says
This bread looks so good. I am going to make it this weekend.
Dee Lafrenz says
I am pinning this on Pinterest, I have to try it. Thank you for the recipe! We love to fry banana bread in a frying pan, you just slice, butter and fry it! YUM! We have that for breakfast, with coffee. I will try this, and not tell my hubby, and see if he can taste it.
Sherry says
Please claify the amount of butter…..1/2 cup…..1/2 stick. Thanks
Elisha says
Just made this, smells amazing!
Shaunelle says
Ingredients calls for cinnamon and nutmeg but does not tell you in the directions when to add them. I added mine with the flour. It’s in the oven now. We’ll see!
Karen says
Does anyone know if this bread freezes well and for how long? Would love to make some for the upcoming holidays. Thank you!
Linda @ Linda's Lunacy says
Hi Karen, I freeze banana bread all the time. I don’t recall freezing this recipe, my family eats it too fast. lol But I’m sure it will freeze well.
Val says
Can this be adapted for a bread machine?
Linda @ Linda's Lunacy says
Hi Val, I have never tried it in a bread machine. If you try it, let me know!
Saralyn says
Have this in the oven now! The processes was super easy and it smells amazing! Can’t wait to dig in with some vanilla bean ice cream!
Ash says
The recipe says “1/2 butter”
Half what? Half a stick? Half a cup?
Debbie says
I have little loaf pans (little bigger than muffin pan &loaf shaped) each little loaf enough for 2. I used these and just watched the timing to bake (took approximately 45min). I love these little loafs because they’re easy to freeze & even share. I did add nuts to 1/2 the mixture and they were even more delicious. Great with a cup of tea/coffee or even a glass of milk. REALLY GOOD warmed in the microwave for a few seconds.
Jaye Schleicher says
butter measurement??. 1/2 of what?? Cup???
Also I grated 1 of the apples just gives it a smoother blend and chopped the other.,,,,,
Margaret Hand says
Has anyone made this bread in a bread machine. Would be great to be able to when you live with the Temperature is 112 most days.
Linda says
Hi Linda,
I just wanted to let you know that ever since I have found this recipe it has been my go too. I use kinda the basics and make it my own. This is a great recipe to do that with.
The first time I used the recipe I did exactly the way you said. Then after that I would make it different. I added raisins, chocolate chips, zucchini, and a number of other things. Thank you for this recipe.
