Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease two 7x3-inch loaf pans.
- In a bowl, whisk together 2 3/4 cups of flour, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, the baking soda, and salt until thoroughly combined. In a separate mixing bowl, beat the melted butter with 2 cups of sugar until smooth, and mix in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract. Stir in the flour mixture just until incorporated.
- Fold in the bananas, apples, and chopped walnuts until combined; do not overmix. There should be small chunks of banana visible in the batter. Pour half the batter into each prepared loaf pan.
- Mix the brown sugar, 1/2 cup of white sugar, 1 tablespoon of cinnamon, 1/4 cup of flour, and 3 tablespoons of softened butter together in a bowl until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle half the crumb topping over each loaf. Garnish each loaf with banana and apple slices.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then remove and cover each pan with aluminum foil. Return to oven, and bake an additional 15 or 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean. Allow to cool before serving.

APPLE BANANA BREAD
This recipe is now back to my original posting as I posted it at Recipezaar many years ago. Recently I noticed that somehow the name got changed as did some of the ingredients. In 2005 I wrote that this is a moist light bread/cake with just a hint of cinnamon. Keeep an eye on cooking times as too long and it will be drier. Also leave in tin for about 5 mins before turning out onto a rack to cool completely. Slices can be served as a dessert topped with custard and whipped cream, or cold and buttered.

APPLE, BANANA,OATMEAL NUT BREAD
Just trying something different. Hope it turns out well. After making this, I believe it would be better to just make one loaf as two were not very big. I changed the directions to accommodate this. If you think you have too much batter for one loaf, make a couple of muffins with the excess.

Lots of spices add wonderful flavor to this delicious banana bread. Go as heavy or light as you like. I often add ginger and mace to this recipe, but I didn't have any on hand when I made this loaf - so I just wrote up the recipe exactly as I made it.

BANANA APPLE BREAD (FROM THE SWEET MELISSA BAKERY)
This is an excellent, moist banana bread by itself but the addition of caramelized brown sugar apples make this truly outstanding. You can add nuts or currants. Be sure to use super-ripe bananas (the blacker the better). The banana bread keeps well wrapped in plastic wrap at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze well wrapped in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil for up to 3 weeks. Defrost (still wrapped) at room temperature. The recipe was printed in "The Sweet Melissa Baking Book: Recipes from the Beloved Bakery for Everyone's Favorite Treats" by Melissa Murphy.

Steps:
- Before you start: Position a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350°F Lightly butter and flour a 1 1/2-quart loaf pan.
- To make the apples: Preheat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and brown sugar and heat until bubbling. Add the apples and cinnamon and sauté until golden and tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the vanilla. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
- To make the banana bread: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- In a small bowl, combine the orange juice and vanilla. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in three batches, alternating with the orange juice mixture, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl after each flour addition. Stir in the mashed bananas until combined. Then stir in the reserved apples.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove to a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes before unmolding onto the rack to cool further. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter your bread will be. If you don't have ripe bananas, you can ripen them quickly by placing them in a brown paper bag with an apple. The apple will release ethylene gas, which will help the bananas ripen.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bread tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches. A smaller loaf pan will make the bread too thick and dense.
- Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The baking time may vary depending on your oven, so start checking the bread after about 50 minutes.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing it. This will help the bread to hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.
Conclusion:
Apple banana bread is a delicious and easy-to-make quick bread that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. With its moist texture, sweet flavor, and nutty aroma, it is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
