Tips:

- For a sweeter bread, use sweeter apples, such as Honeycrisp or Gala. For a tarter bread, use tart apples, such as Granny Smith or Braeburn. - Be sure to peel and core the apples before grating them. - If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the apples by hand. Just be sure to grate them finely. - If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. - Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bread tough. - Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. - Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving.
