APRICOT BANANA BREAD



Apricot Banana Bread image

Making this delightfully different twist on traditional banana bread is fun. It tastes excellent spread with cream cheese or butter. When I take this bread to bake sales, it really goes fast. I also make it in small loaf pan to give as gifts. I discovered the recipe in 1955 and have been making it since. -Betty Hull, Stoughton, Wisconsin
