3. In a bowl mix the dry ingredients: flour, baking power, cinnamon, and baking soda.
4. In a large bowl mash the bananas (or pour the apple sauce), mix sugar, salt, oil, and vanilla.
5. Slowly mix half of the dry ingredients with the wet ones.
6. Mix the diced apples and raisins with the other half of the dry ingredients until they are coated.
7. Dump the floured apples and raisins into the batter and mix until incorporated.
8. Pour in the prepared pan.
9. Bake for about 1 hour and 10 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
10. Let it cool on a wire rack before removing from the pan.
