A bunt cake that melts in your mouth! Inspired by the fall season just around the corner, this apple chunk banana bunt cake is a spin-off of regular banana bread. I am a huge fan of banana bread and so is everyone in my family – we’ve tried all the combinations you could think of except spicing it up with apples! All I basically did was follow my classic banana bread recipe I posted here and added one large chopped apple to the mix (I also omitted the chocolate). The apples made the bread super duper moist and down right addicting. Baking it in a bunt pan and sprinkling powdered sugar on-top gave it a little more oomph. Here’s the recipe once again:
Quick tip: Because of the apples, I baked my bread about 10-15 minutes longer than usual because it was really moist. I also covered the top with tin foil near the end to give the insides time to bake and to prevent the top edges from burning!
