BF didn't like this at all...Said it was like eating 3 desserts in one...TOO much going on! I didn't like the combination very much either...I'm sorry I wasted the ingredients...I'd have been better off making either an apple dessert, a banana dessert OR a bread pudding, rather than this mishmash :(

A great tasting Apple Brown Betty. Would never have though to adding bananas which makes for a lovely change when it comes to this apple dessert. Thank you for sharing your mom's recipe.

Ohhh AprilShowers! This was really yummy! It tasted like french toast with warm fruit on top. Mmmmmm! I used whole wheat bread and served it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I am sure I'll be making this again. Thanks for sharing!
