Sourdough Apple Banana Bread with Cosmic Crisp® Apples

  • Desserts

Ingredients

  • 1 large Cosmic Crisp® Apple
  • 4 small overripe bananas, mashed (about 1 ½ mashed banana)
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar
  • ¼ cup cane sugar
  • 1 tsp bourbon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup active + bubbly sourdough starter
  • 3 tbsp milk of choice
  • ½ cup salted butter, melted and cooled
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1.2 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp cinnamon

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. Grate the Cosmic Crisp apple. In a fine mesh strainer, press out the excess liquid until the apple is almost dry. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl add the mashed banana, brown sugar, cane sugar, and vanilla. Whisk until combined, about 30 seconds.
  4. Add the eggs and whisk again until combined.
  5. Add the sourdough starter and mix again until just combined, then add the milk and butter. Stir to combine, then mix in the apple.
  6. In a separate mixing bowl combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon and mix.
  7. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and carefully fold with a spatula until everything is just combined.
  8. Pour into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-75 minutes or until a toothpick is inserted and comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Let cool in the pan for about 30 minutes, then remove and let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving!

Not your childhood applesauce 🍎🍑⁠ Peaches found their perfect match in Cosmic Crisp®. No added sugar, just two fruits at their peak & simmered down into a naturally sweet & lightly spiced sauce. ⁠
⁠
Ingredients:⁠
🍎 4 Large Cosmic Crisp® Apples, Diced⁠
🍑 24 Oz Frozen Peach Slices⁠
🍋 1 Lemon, Juiced⁠
💧 3/4 Cup Filtered Water⁠
⁠
Directions⁠
1. Add all ingredients to a large pot. Cover with a lid and place over medium heat.⁠
2. Cook for about 20-30 minutes, stirring frequently until the fruit has cooked down & is soft all the way through. A fork should easily pierce an apple. If the mixture is bubbling too much, reduce the heat to medium-low.⁠
Add everything to a blender, working in batches if needed. Blend until completely smooth, then pour back into the pot.⁠
3. Place back over medium-low heat, stirring frequently for about 10-15 minutes to cook down/thicken a bit more. This step is optional but recommended.⁠
4. Remove from the heat and let cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.⁠

Cosmic Crisp® said oxidation? Never heard of her 🍎🧬 ⁠
⁠⁠
Cultivated with naturally higher levels of sugar & acidity, this helps make the apple incredibly slow-to-brown. Translation? No sad brown apples ever 👏⁠
