1 cup diced apples (about 1 medium apple)
1/3 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup sugar (can reduce to 3/4 cup for less sweetness)

Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
