Banana Bread with Apples

This loaf of Banana Bread with Apples comes from my favorite recipe. This is one of the easiest baked treats I have made. There is no need to haul out the large cake mixer for this. Mix up all the ingredients in one bowl then pour it into the loaf pan to bake. I added a whole sliced apple to make the loaf even more special. This is the kind of snack or dessert treat I like to bake to welcome a new neighbor to the community, for bake fairs, potlucks or a family weekend meal. This is an Asian in America recipe by Elizabeth Ann Besa-Quirino. Serves 4 to 6.
