Old Bananas - Apple Banana Bread

Lately, I've been happy to have left-over bananas because I can have an excuse to make something good. I think this might be the last recipe to make use of old bananas. This is a really moist and delicious bread. It came from a newspaper clipping. I modified it a bit - namely, I substituted the "brandy flavoring" with vanilla. Can you even buy brandy flavoring? AND I added walnuts. What's the point of making sweet bread if you don't add nuts, after all? I made a half recipe, and it made one large loaf. Transferred it three times till I found the right pan!

APPLE BANANA BREAD
4 apples, finely chopped
Lemon juice
3 large, ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup butter or margarine
2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1½ tsp. baking powder
1½ tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. brandy flavoring
Core and pare [peel] apples; chop fine. Sprinkle with a little lemon juice to prevent discoloration. Add mashed bananas to apples; mix well. Cream butter to consistency of mayonnaise; add sugar while continuing to cream. Add eggs, beating well after each addition. Stir in apples and bananas. Mix and sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir in. Add flavoring; mix well. Spoon into 2 greased and floured loaf pans 3x5x3 inches. Bake at 325°F for 1 hour or until bread tests done. Remove from pans. Cool on cake rack. Makes 2 loaves.
