Instructions

Preheat oven to 350. Mix butter, sugar, eggs, and bananas with mixer. Add flour, baking soda and chopped nuts. Spread half the mixture in a 9X5 greased loaf pan.

Mix apple butter, cinnamon and vanilla together and spread over mixture. I use a butter knife to spread it. Pour the remaining bread batter over the apple butter.I sprinkle more pecans on top. Bake in preheated oven at 350 degree for 60 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan. Makes one large loaf of bread.
