Applesauce is a great addition to baked goods especially cakes and breads. Applesauce adds taste and moisture plus it is good for you. Apples and bananas taste great together, so it just makes sense to put applesauce into banana bread. Here is the recipe. I hope you enjoy it!

- 4 ripe bananas
- 1 cup of sugar

For those who can fruit at home or even buy various fruit sauces such as pear sauce, feel free to substitute the type of fruit sauce you have on hand. Another alternative to fresh bananas are dehydrated or frozen bananas. Be sure to rehydrate dried bananas if you are using those, then drain the liquid off before adding them to the mixture. Allow frozen bananas to thaw before using them.
