I’ve made many a banana bread recipe in my life, but I am going on record saying, this is my absolute favorite. It’s a moist and flavorful banana bread with apple chunks in every bite, what’s not to like? This recipe is so simple and easy to make that it might quickly become one of your favorites too.
It’s exactly as it sounds, and it’s incredible. With a banana bread filled with chunks of diced apple. To make it even better, it’s covered in an easy homemade cinnamon streusel topping and then topped with a powdered sugar glaze. You know it’s going to taste great because it looks AMAZING. In fact, you may never be able to enjoy a plain banana bread recipe again- it’s THAT good!
Apple Banana Bread (easy 10 Minute Prep!)
Sour cream: You can use sour cream or plain/vanilla Greek yogurt, both have similar results and make this bread rich and moist.
Mashed bananas: Using ripe bananas is ideal for banana bread, the darker the color, the sweeter and stronger their presence will be in the final results!
Vanilla extract: A very common baking ingredient and found in most recipes, it helps to highlight the flavors in a recipe without overpowering them.
Easy Sour Cream Apple Bread With Pecans
Flour: Using all purpose flour or bread flour, you can get that tasty crumb from the bread once baked. Bread flour has more protein and can alter the flavor for the better, but using either will give your bread tasty results!
Baking soda: The leavening agent in this quick bread recipe. It helps to give the bread the much needed height and without it your bread will fall flat, pun intended.
Cinnamon: A great flavorful addition to help meld together the flavors of apple and banana. Cinnamon is always welcomed in my book!

Salt: Salt is a basic staple in recipes because it not only helps to give it a little something extra, but it helps to highlight the flavors in recipes and really makes them POP.
Apple: You’ll want your apple diced and peeled so it’s ready to go but you can choose between apple varieties and select a sweet or tart apple based on what you’re looking for.
Flour: The base of the streusel. It helps to absorb liquids and create the little crumbly bits you’ll be sprinkling over the bread.

Brown Sugar: Adding a level of sweetness and depth to the molasses without being overpoweringly sweet, this brown sugar gives that caramelization we want to see.
Cinnamon: A streusel topping almost wouldn’t exist without cinnamon. The flavor, smell, and nice brown color it gives really helps to make the streusel incredible.
Butter: Melt your butter and use it to help bring together the dry ingredients in this streusel and give it that much needed depth and richness.

Hot water: Using hot water we can dissolve the sugar and turn it into a spreadable glaze. You can add a little more or less depending on the desired glaze thickness you want but don’t overdo it. A little water goes a long way!
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, and vegetable oil. Add in the mashed bananas, sugars and vanilla. Stir until everything is well combined.
Combine the streusel ingredients in another bowl and stir until the mixture is uniform and crumbly. Sprinkle half streusel mix over each loaf.

Remove from the oven and then let cool in bread pans for about 20 minutes. Turn them out onto a cooling rack to cool fully.
Whisk the powdered sugar together with the hot water. Drizzle over the cooled bread. Let the icing cool to set (it’s fast!) then slice and serve. Store the leftovers in an airtight container.
The easiest and best way to avoid sunken bread is to use a cooking thermometer to check the inside of the loaf. Fully cooked bread will register 200°F on a thermometer. My all-time favorite thermometer is the Thermapen. It’s super fast and incredibly durable. Another great cooking thermometer is the ThermoPop which is a more basic version that works just as well!

You want your bananas to be at the very least yellow with brown spots. But at most they can be solid black. The more ripe that the bananas are the sweeter they are (and the easier they are to mash).
Keeping your banana bread properly stored can help to keep the moisture inside and maximize the shelf life. By keeping the banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature you can keep the banana bread moist for as long as possible. Keeping it out of the fridge can also help as the cold air often dries out baked goods.
Warm Apple Bread
You can get banana bread to last up to 5 days on the counter at room temperature f you keep it well wrapped and covered. This should give you plenty of time to snack your way through a loaf. Don’t forget that you can freeze any leftovers if you can’t finish it off fast enough!
Sour cream is one of those awesome baking secrets that helps to add a deeper level of richness and moisture when it comes to the flavor and texture. What makes it really great is that it’s completely unnoticeable once baked into goods and if you hadn’t put it in there, you probably wouldn’t know it was in there.
Yes, this bread is great for freezing. Just make sure to have a completely cooled loaf and then to wrap the baked loaf in plastic wrap before storing in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Then let it thaw on the counter for a few hours before eating.

I love the addition of tangy buttermilk in banana bread, but I also try to avoid buying a big carton to avoid the inevitable leftovers hitting the trash can before their expiration date. There are loads of buttermilk substitutes, from a simple milk and lemon concoction to good ol’ sour cream or yogurt. Check out my full guide: What Can I Substitute for Buttermilk?
Easy And Moist Apple Cinnamon Banana Bread Recipe
Banana bread purists may be aghast at the addition of diced apples, but trust me when I tell you that those pops of juicy tang (courtesy of Granny Smith’s finest fruit) will tickle your taste buds bite after bite.
The key to ensuring apples in every bite and not just the bottom third of your loaf is to toss the diced fruit with a bit of flour. This coating draws out moisture and prevents them from sinking.
Whether sliced or unsliced, the best way to store any variety of banana bread is in an airtight container or sealable plastic bag kept at room temperature. Reheating each slice is as simple as popping it into the microwave for 10 to 15 seconds… or you could turn it into Banana Bread French Toast. Two words: game-changer!
