Like so.
Gabe knows exactly what causes this (I don't) but it's fairly common in some varieties. I had an entire bunch of Dwarf Cavendish fruit turn out doubled except for two bananas, and I'd expect it's a chance mutation since the pups of that plant put out normal bunches.

Then there is the mutant from Saba called Praying Hands. Here the fingers are all stuck together in each hand.
