Apple Banana Streusel Bread
The delicious topping on my Apple Banana Streusel Bread takes this sweet treat over the top! Perfect for a snack or with coffee for breakfast.
My Mom was a great cook who left a large collection of recipes and I peruse them often. This apple banana streusel bread came from my Mom’s stash but it started out as apple streusel muffins.
I had one lone banana I needed to use, not enough for my regular banana bread recipe, so I thought I’d toss it in this recipe and make it into a loaf.
I’ve never shredded an apple for a recipe before. The Lady Alice apples from Ranier Fruit were nice and juicy and shredded up easily. I just used my cheese shredder on the large holes.
I’m convinced the bread was moist due to the juicy apple. They were delicious and I was sad when they were all gone. My husband and boys were sad when they were gone too.
The streusel topping adds a sweet crunch to the bread. You could enjoy this with your morning coffee or tea or as a dessert.

Perfect for a snack or with coffee for breakfast. #snacksIt would also make a great gift for neighbors during the holidays. I’ve made this bread a second time already because the first loaf didn’t last long in my house. I’m thinking next time I may make it into muffins.
Muffins would definitely be a great grab and go breakfast or snack.

I think it is wonderful that you have so many of your Mom’s recipes. I know each time you make one of the recipes, you must have special memories. Love the streusel on the banana bread.
I’m unfamiliar with Lady Alice apples—what are they similar to? I’m not a huge banana eater, but I’m sure my husband would love this.
What a wonderful combination for a quick bread. I have 2 overly ripe bananas in my fridge right now.
