I Germany "to bite into the bitter apple" means to accept the bad situation you are in. Here, a golden apple represents someone owing you money who can't pay you back. And this is outside of the bank.
In mideval times, people would compare their loaves of bread here if they thought a bakery was cheating them. And if it was smaller they would tell "I got my bread from ____ bakery" and that bakery would be punished!
