For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of softened butter. Try different apple varieties like Honeycrisp or Fuji for a unique taste. Toast the walnuts before adding them to the batter for enhanced flavor. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to a liquid measuring cup and filling it with milk to equal 1/3 cup. Let it stand for 5 minutes before using.
