How to Make Banana Apple Nut Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas (or use 3 frozen bananas, thawed and drained). Stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and 3/4 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1/2 cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the mashed bananas, 1 cup chopped apple, and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
  7. If the batter seems too thin, add 1-2 tablespoons of flour, one at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles. Smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
