I Like to Eat Apples and Bananas Bread
My children love to bake (and eat) all kinds of banana bread. They make this all by themselves, with just a little help from me to put it in the oven. —Kristin Metcalf, Charlton, Massachusetts

Reviews
This was a great recipe. I was thankful it didn’t have eggs, like so many do, because my toddler has an egg allergy. I did leave out the coconut on top, but still put the sea salt and caramel and WOW! It was so good! A great way to use up our apple picking harvest and those two browning bananas in the fruit bowl. Thank you for this recipe! (I had slightly less than 1 1/2 cups banana and it was still ok!)
Any reason why there are no eggs in the recipe? I made 2 loaves. They just wouldn’t cook to fineness. I think there was too much fruit. I won’t make this recipe again.
Made this exactly as written. It is delicious. The only reason I gave it 4 star is that it is a little putsy. In spite of that, I'll make again and again. Thank you for sharing.
Cake was pretty good, topping was delicious! If you're going to make the sauce, be sure to add the sea salt. What a difference it makes!! The only change I made is, I added about 1/2 tsp Banana Flavoring. I do every time I make banana bread or banana cake. It amps up the flavor a little.
Will be making recipe this weekend. But I will be making 1 change. I won't be using coconut (absolutely detest it). Instead I will finely chop some walnuts to use instead.
This bread is fantastic! I had very ripe bananas and apples on my counter and looked for a recipe that incorporated both. I found this one. So simple to make but the flavors are amazing! I didn't do the caramel sauce on top because i didn't have the ingredients, but the bread is sweet enough. I will definitely be making this again. Delicious!!!
I made this bread on 9/21/17. I used regular salt in the caramel sauce as I did not have sea salt. I baked loaves in two 7-1/2x3-1/2" loaf pans and after cooling in pans and turning out to cool, I then spread over loaves the caramel sauce. These 2 loaves I was able to have sold in our coffee shop!
Easy to make. I left off the caramel sauce too. Sweet enough without it.
This was a delicious alternative to my usual banana bread recipe. The bread is sweet enough to stand alone. While I didn't include the caramel topping this time around, I imagine this salty/sweet combo would push it into the "Decadent" dessert category! The bread came out very moist, to the point of almost falling apart which is the only negative thing about this recipe. The next time I make this, I will likely reduce the amount of apples slightly to see if that helps the moisture issue. I highly recommend this one!
