Apple Bread

I found this recipe on an old newspaper clipping, pressed into one of my grandmother's cookbooks. I haven't ventured to make this recipe myself yet, but I figured it was worth transcribing before it disintegrated! One thing I noticed - Most apple bread recipes I've seen have extra sugar added, but this one doesn't. Some apples are definitely sweeter than others though.
