Apple Bread & Reese's Peanut Butter Banana Bread

This is your lucky day folks! To cap off our week long celebration of delectable delights, we have two recipes for you. The first one is my very own Apple Bread - a bread so sweet it's hard to even call it a bread. Then as your bonus for being good little boys & girls, I have for you Reese's Peanut Butter Banana Bread. Yes, it is as awesome as it sounds and just as tasty.

Apple Bread Recipe:

• 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 2 teaspoon baking power
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 can of Apple Pie Filling
• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup butter 1 stick (melted)
• 1 cup of sugar
• 2 large eggs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda & salt into a large bowl then set aside. Combine the apple pie filling, vanilla extract & milk into another bowl then mash together. Using a kitchen mixer or handheld mixer,  beat together the melted butter & sugar in a large bowl until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time until blended well. Reduce the speed then add the flour mixture followed by the apple mixture. Stop occasionally to scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula.

Spray the loaf pan with Pam for baking. Bake for approximately 1 hour or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Remove to rack to cool then enjoy.

The Reese's Peanut Butter Banana Bread comes to us from http://cookiesandcups.com. I made this, and my friends literally started to drool from the smell. It's stupid crazy good and just as easy to make. I really hope you try them both. They make really good gifts! 

Reese's Peanut Butter Banana Bread Recipe:

• 3 very ripe bananas (mashed)
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1/4 cup oil
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 8 oz bag of Reese’s Mini cups

 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl sift together your flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt, then set the mixture aside. In a large bowl mash together your bananas, peanut butter, oil, egg and sugars. Mix together both your wet & dry ingredients until combined. Fold in the Reese's cups - your batter will be slightly lumpy. Spray your loaf pan with the Pam for baking. Bake for approx 1 hour or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
