Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease two 7x3-inch loaf pans.

Step 2

Make the bread: Whisk flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.

Step 3

Beat sugar and melted butter in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Mix in eggs, one at a time, followed by yogurt and vanilla. Gradually stir in flour mixture just until incorporated.

Step 4

Fold in bananas, apples, and walnuts until combined with small chunks of banana still visible in the batter; do not overmix. Pour 1/2 of the batter into each prepared pan.

Step 5

Make the topping: Mix brown sugar, white sugar, flour, butter, and cinnamon together in a bowl until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 6

Sprinkle 1/2 of the topping over each loaf. Garnish each loaf with banana and apple slices.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then remove and cover each pan with aluminum foil.

Step 8

Return to the oven, and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of each loaf comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow to cool before serving.
