I want to find all subfolders, that contains a markdown file with the same name (and extension .md).
For example: I want to Find following subfolders:
Apple/Banana/Orange #Apple/Banana/Orange/Orange.md exists
Apple/Banana #Apple/Banana/Banana.md exists
Apple/Banana/Papaya #Apple/Banana/Papaya/Papaya.md exists
- Note: There can be other files or subdirectory in the directory.
Any suggestions?

Regarding your final remarks. Note that some answers do different things from others. Mine and Stéphane's for example, interpreted your first "Note" as "if there are other markdown files in the directory whatsoever, don't return that directory" while the others don't (as far as I can see). Apart from that, only you can pick the answer that is most helpful to you. Answers here will continue to receive up and down votes after you have accepted an answer, depending on what other readers find most useful.

When you say "Folders that contain markdown file whose names are different should not be found," do you mean to exclude directories with both? E.g. if you havefoo/foo.mdandfoo/bar.mdshouldfoobe included or excluded?

Assuming your files are sensibly named, i.e. no need for -print0 etc. You can do this with GNU find like this:
find . -type f -regextype egrep -regex '.*/([^/]+)/1.md$'
Output:
./Apple/Banana/Orange/Orange.md
./Apple/Banana/Papaya/Papaya.md
./Apple/Banana/Banana.md
If you only want the directory name, add a -printf argument:
find . -type f -regextype egrep -regex '.*/([^/]+)/1.md$' -printf '%hn'
Output when run on your updated test data:
GeneratedTest/A/AA
GeneratedTest/A
GeneratedTest/C/CC2
GeneratedTest/C/CC1
GeneratedTest/B

On a GNU system, you could do something like:
find . -name '*.md' -print0 |
gawk -v RS='' -F/ -v OFS=/ '
filename = $NF; NF--
if ($(NF)".md" == filename) include[$0]
else exclude[$0]

@steeldriver, in that zsh approach I (like you) had missed the part of the requirement that dirs that contain other md files should be omitted.

find . -type d -exec sh -c '
dirpath=$1
set -- "$dirpath"/*.md
[ -f "$dirpath/$dirpath##*/.md" ] && [ "$#" -eq 1 ]' sh ; -print
The above would find all directories below the current directory (including the current directory) and would execute a short shell script for each.
The shell code would test whether there's a markdown file with the same name as the directory inside the directory, and whether this is the only *.md name in that directory. If such a file exists and if it's the only *.md name, the inline shell script exits with a zero exit status. Otherwise it exits with a non-zero exit status (signalling failure).
The set -- "$dirpath"/*.md bit will set the positional parameters to the list of pathnames matching the pattern (matches any name with a suffix .md in the directory). We can then use $# later to see how many matches we got from this.
If the shell script exits successfully, -print will print the path to the found directory.
Slightly speedier version that uses fewer invocations of the inline script, but that doesn't let you do more with the found pathnames in find itself (the inline script may be further expanded though):
find . -type d -exec sh -c '
for dirpath do
set -- "$dirpath"/*.md
[ -f "$dirpath/$dirpath##*/.md" ] &&
[ "$#" -eq 1 ] &&
printf "%sn" "$dirpath"
done' sh +
The same commands but without caring about whether there are other .md files in the directories:

Either
find . -type d -exec sh -c '[ -f "$1/$1##*/.md" ]' find-sh ; -print
or
find . -type d -exec sh -c '
for d do
[ -f "$d/$d##*/.md" ] && printf "%sn" "$d"
done' find-sh +
To avoid running one sh per file.
The find-sh is an arbitrary string that becomes the shell's zeroth positional parameter $0 - making it something memorable may help with debugging in case the shell encounters errors (others may suggest using plain sh or even _ as a default "skip" parameter).

Here's mine. I added some more directories and files to verify. I was also bored, so I added the last modified time and MD5. Maybe you're looking for duplicates.
GREEN='33[0;32m'
RED='33[0;31m'
NC='33[0m'
mkdir -pv Pear,Grape,Raisin,Plaintain/DragonFruit,Nababa,Strawberry,Grape,Raisin
touch Pear,Grape,Raisin,Plaintain/DragonFruit,Nababa,Strawberry,Grape,Raisin/Strawberry,Grape,Raisin.md
for dir in $(find ./ -type d)
do
dirname="$dir##*/"
fname="$dirname.md"
if [ -f "$dir/$fname" ]
then
STAT=$(stat --printf="%y %s" "$dir/$fname")
STAT="$STAT:0:19"
MD5=$(md5sum "$dir/$fname")
MD5="$MD5:0:32"
printf "$GREEN%-60s$NC%-40s%-40sn" "'$dir/$fname' exists" "$STAT" "$MD5"
else
echo -e "$RED'$dir/$fname' doesn't exist$NC"

This would require a bit of logic.
for fd in `find . -type d`; do
dir=$fd##*/
if [ -f $fd/$dir.md ]; then
ls $fd/$dir.md
fi
done
You can also adapt that to fit into a one liner by using code blocks.
EDIT: Bash is hard. basedir is not a command, dirname doesn't do what I thought it did, so let's go with parameter expansion.

That would be because I apparently can't remember bash commands or how they work.

dirnameis the command you're looking for, and assignments can't have spaces around the=.
– Kusalananda♦
Aug 6 at 17:01
Found that out pretty quickly after it was pointed out, and the spaces were a typo.
– Zach Sanchez
Aug 6 at 17:08
This breaks on all kinds of file names, especially with spaces. Don't parse the output of ls or find. See the other answers here for sensible approaches.

Ah, damn, you right, I would've thought the for loop would enumerate by newline, not by arbitrary whitespace. I break that rule all the time cause I seldom encounter files or directories with spaces, my bad.

Assuming your files are sensibly named, i.e. no need for -print0 etc. You can do this with GNU find like this:
find . -type f -regextype egrep -regex '.*/([^/]+)/1.md$'
Output:
./Apple/Banana/Orange/Orange.md
./Apple/Banana/Papaya/Papaya.md
./Apple/Banana/Banana.md
If you only want the directory name, add a -printf argument:
find . -type f -regextype egrep -regex '.*/([^/]+)/1.md$' -printf '%hn'
Output when run on your updated test data:

find . -type d -exec sh -c '
dirpath=$1
set -- "$dirpath"/*.md
[ -f "$dirpath/$dirpath##*/.md" ] && [ "$#" -eq 1 ]' sh ; -print
The above would find all directories below the current directory (including the current directory) and would execute a short shell script for each.
The shell code would test whether there's a markdown file with the same name as the directory inside the directory, and whether this is the only *.md name in that directory. If such a file exists and if it's the only *.md name, the inline shell script exits with a zero exit status. Otherwise it exits with a non-zero exit status (signalling failure).
The set -- "$dirpath"/*.md bit will set the positional parameters to the list of pathnames matching the pattern (matches any name with a suffix .md in the directory). We can then use $# later to see how many matches we got from this.
If the shell script exits successfully, -print will print the path to the found directory.
Slightly speedier version that uses fewer invocations of the inline script, but that doesn't let you do more with the found pathnames in find itself (the inline script may be further expanded though):
find . -type d -exec sh -c '
for dirpath do
set -- "$dirpath"/*.md
[ -f "$dirpath/$dirpath##*/.md" ] &&
[ "$#" -eq 1 ] &&
printf "%sn" "$dirpath"
done' sh +
The same commands but without caring about whether there are other .md files in the directories:
find . -type d -exec sh -c '
dirpath=$1
[ -f "$dirpath/$dirpath##*/.md" ]' sh ; -print
find . -type d -exec sh -c '
for dirpath do
[ -f "$dirpath/$dirpath##*/.md" ] &&
printf "%sn" "$dirpath"
done' sh +

find . -type d -exec sh -c '
dirpath=$1
set -- "$dirpath"/*.md

The above would find all directories below the current directory (including the current directory) and would execute a short shell script for each.
The shell code would test whether there's a markdown file with the same name as the directory inside the directory, and whether this is the only *.md name in that directory.

Either
find . -type d -exec sh -c '[ -f "$1/$1##*/.md" ]' find-sh ; -print
or
find . -type d -exec sh -c '
for d do
[ -f "$d/$d##*/.md" ] && printf "%sn" "$d"
done' find-sh +
To avoid running one sh per file.
The find-sh is an arbitrary string that becomes the shell's zeroth positional parameter $0 - making it something memorable may help with debugging in case the shell encounters errors (others may suggest using plain sh or even _ as a default "skip" parameter).

This would require a bit of logic.
for fd in `find . -type d`; do
dir=$fd##*/
if [ -f $fd/$dir.md ]; then
ls $fd/$dir.md
fi
done
You can also adapt that to fit into a one liner by using code blocks.
EDIT: Bash is hard. basedir is not a command, dirname doesn't do what I thought it did, so let's go with parameter expansion.

This breaks on all kinds of file names, especially with spaces. Don't parse the output of ls or find. See the other answers here for sensible approaches.

Ah, damn, you right, I would've thought the for loop would enumerate by newline, not by arbitrary whitespace. I break that rule all the time cause I seldom encounter files or directories with spaces, my bad.

Regarding your final remarks. Note that some answers do different things from others. Mine and Stéphane's for example, interpreted your first "Note" as "if there are other markdown files in the directory whatsoever, don't return that directory" while the others don't (as far as I can see). Apart from that, only you can pick the answer that is most helpful to you. Answers here will continue to receive up and down votes after you have accepted an answer, depending on what other readers find most useful.

When you say "Folders that contain markdown file whose names are different should not be found," do you mean to exclude directories with both? E.g. if you have
foo/foo.mdandfoo/bar.mdshouldfoobe included or excluded?– Kevin
Aug 7 at 20:36
@Kevin In the example that you gave, I had meant to include foo. But unfortunately many people interpreted in the other way and they justified that. So, I thought that I was not clear in communication. So, I accepted answer which did not included foo.

If you use
