I love the fall because it’s pretty hard to beat a fresh-off-the-tree apple and of course I find lots of yummy ways to bake them up too!

This recipe has two of my favorite fruits— Apples and Banana’s.    I love them both so combining them in a delicious and healthy loaf was a no brainer…

This Apple Banana Bread recipe is going to be come a fall favorite around your house too! Promise.
