This is a fantastic recipe. I was worried it might be too sweet, so I cut it with a heaping tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice which was added to the dry ingredients. It is phenomenal! I chopped my whole cranberries so they were at least 1/4 their original size. I used two small apples instead of one. My banana was mostly, but not fully ripe because that’s all I had to hand. When testing with a toothpick, you might hit an apple which will be wet, therefore, stick it in a few locations. Mine took 55 mins but it could have been taken out in 50. Resist the temptation to cut it when hot/warm. Leave in pan 5-10 minutes to “set”, then turn out onto wire rack. Let it cool completely.

Solid recipe. I added walnuts.
Christina Young
Good recipe – it was nice that it doesn’t have a lot of butter or oil in the recipe. Made as written. Good use of an extremely overripe banana and a soft old apple! Next time I might throw a few nuts in for flavor and crunch.
Michael Gaines
Great recipe! Came out so moist!
Russell Reyes
No changes and I will make it again.

Every time I make a delicious bread I say it is the best. This bread is the best in every way: flavor, consistency, taste and size. All was delish!
Brenda Nguyen
Turned out well. Hubby loved it! Nice change from banana bread. The cranberries gave it a nice little zing. I tossed the apple pieces in lemon juice to keep them from turning brown. The lemon was nice too. Yes I would make this again.
Kenneth Ellis
Added walnuts. Yummy. Next time gonna add a little Cinnamon for a little extra flavor. It made 2 loaves for me ??
Robert Mack
I added 2 apples instead of one and 2 bananas instead of one with that extra I made a few muffins. I made the self-rising flour using baking powder and all-purpose flour. Also, it only took around 50 minutes to bake. Best bread ever! I will for sure make it again.

Amazingly moist and without the sometimes overpowering banana flavor that you get with regular banana bread. I added a teaspoon of cinnamon and dash of ground clove and nutmeg to the double batch I made… Didn’t have self-rising flour in the house, but no worries – just add 1 tsp. of baking POWDER and a 1/2 tsp. of salt per cup of flour you use, it works!
Joshua Lynch
So good! I will make again and again.
Benjamin Anderson
was delicious. I added a few chocolate chips.
Maria Curry
I have made this exactly as written and modified it several times. Each time, it has turned out great. Today, I made it using zucchini, apples, blueberries and almonds along with the bananas since I didn’t have any cranberries. It turned out super moist and delicious! It’s a very flexible recipe and I love it!
Jesus Anderson
Didn’t have baking powder or a banana but even with substitutes this was a yummy loaf of bread. Baking soda and buttermilk took the place of baking powder and a scoop of cottage cheese for the banana. I added nuts too, cuz I love them.
Kristin Moreno
I added a bit more apple and an extra banana, coz they needed to be finished. Everyone loves it! Update on 19.11.18: used pineapple instead of apple… Very, very nice!
Renee Chase
One of my family’s favorite. Moist and a fairly dense bread. Very favorable with cranberries, apple and bananas..neither being overbearing. I did have to bake it about 15 mins longer…
Jaime Black
Super yummy. I added about a half a Tsp of cinnamon and lemon peel, as well as about a quarter cub of walnuts. It really livened it up. I had no problems with it raising, as I used the self rising flour.
Charles Martin
I used regular flour with 3 tsp baking powder and a hint of salt, and baked about 70 minutes as after an hour the dough was still sticking to a skewer. The texture was very good, but it was lacking in flavour a bit. I used a small apple and a small banana, maybe next time I will add a bit more.
Cathy Ballard
Easy gluten free conversion! I used this recipe subbing Bob’s Red Mill Natural Foods 1 for 1 flour and added 1 TBSP Baking powder and some salt. Came out perfect! Cooked exactly 60 minutes.
Darren Espinoza
I followed the directions exactly. It was just ok. To me it was very bland. I don’t get the banana or apple flavor at all. I don’t think I’ll make this again.
Kristie Leblanc
The bread was great. I baked it for 1 and a 1/2 hours. My husband loved it!!!!
