Banana and apple bread

Banana and apple bread is a delicious variation of traditional banana bread, a very popular recipe in many Latin American and American cultures. This dessert has a simple, homemade origin, perfect for using ripe fruits like bananas and apples, ingredients that contribute flavor, moisture, and texture. In countries like Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina, this preparation might have similar names like "banana and apple pudding" or simply "sweet fruit bread." The combination of the natural sweetness of bananas and apples with spices creates a perfect balance that has won over palates across the region.

In Latin America, banana bread is also known in some areas as "banana cake" or "banana sponge cake," and is sometimes enriched with dried fruits like walnuts to give it a crunchy touch. Its popularity lies in being an easy and nutritious recipe, ideal for breakfasts or snacks accompanied by coffee or tea. Furthermore, it is an excellent way to use ripe fruits and avoid waste.

How to Make Banana and Apple Bread

To begin this recipe, preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F).

Cream the butter together with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until you get a creamy mixture. Add the eggs one by one, making sure to incorporate each one well.

Add the sour cream, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract, mixing carefully to combine all the flavors.

In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon to create the dry base of the recipe.

Gradually add this dry mixture to the butter and fruit preparation, stirring gently to prevent lumps from forming.

Gently fold in the chopped apples and chopped walnuts, distributing them evenly in the mixture.

Pour the mixture into a previously greased loaf pan and bake for approximately 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
