Apple Banana Bread

 I made this for Curtis to take to bishopric/ward counsel meeting today and got raving reviews. I have made this recipe before because Curtis like to have something besides just bananas in his banana bread and of course we can't do nuts so we have tried several recipes. He has always liked this one but I haven't made it for awhile because I was thinking that I needed baking apples and I just don't buy them much but I made it with gala and I think it worked just fine.

Apple Banana Bread
3 lg. ripe bananas 
1 c. sugar
1 egg
4 tbsp. butter, melted and cooled
1 1/2 c. all purpose flour
1 tsp.  salt
1 tsp. baking soda
2 apples, peeled and chopped into small pieces 

Cinnamon Topping:
1/4 c. firmly packed brown sugar
1 tbsp. all purpose flour
1 tbsp. softened butter
2 tsp. ground cinnamon

In a bowl, stir together brown sugar, flour, softened butter and cinnamon.

Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Lightly grease a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan; set aside. In a bowl mash bananas; you should have 1 cup. Beat in sugar, then egg and butter. In another bowl, stir together flour, salt and baking soda; add to banana mixture and stir just until all flour is moistened. Add apples; stir just until well mixed. Pour batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle cinnamon topping evenly over batter.

Bake for 55 to 60 minutes.

I use a regular bread pan and a little bread pan, otherwise it bakes too high. I bake the little pan for about 25- 30 minutes.

Chocolate bunt cake with chocolate glaze

I used a cake mix from a box then made the glaze. Remember bunt cakes take longer to cook then normal 13 by 9 pan. 

Glaze recipe

1 can sweeten condense milk
1 cup chocolate chips (I used milk chocolate)
1 tsp vanilla 

Combine sweeten condense milk with chocolate chips in a sauce pan over medium heat until melted. 
Remove from heat add vanilla. Mix well
Drizzle over cooled cake. 
Enjoy once cooled!
