The tops do not touch the stems, and they look great in clusters of different colors. We will make a simple flower using short/long stitches. The stitch this month is the short/long stitch but
I Found this recipe and decided to give it a try, with a few changes. It looked like such a good idea, and it tastes even better. I love the smell of the bananas cooking in the butter and sugar! This recipe makes one 9″ x 5″ loaf, so double the recipe for two loaves.

Crispy and sweet… they were described as “little pieces of fried joy”! Although I highly recommend the homemade apple filling below (it’s so yummy!), you can use canned
