Chunky Apple Bread image

This is from the January 2002 Quick Cooking magazine. It was sent in by Joan Hallford, N. Richland Hills Texas. I have made it several times and really like it. The bread is fantastic toasted with butter. It makes two small loafs so I freeze one. There was an Editor's note that fat free Mayonnaise should not be used. One teaspoon vinegar in regular milk replaces the buttermilk.
