Apples are round or elongated fruits with firm white flesh, a seedy core, and a rind that can be green, yellow, red, purple, or brown when ripe. They can vary in size, color, and firmness, but are usually 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 centimeters) wide. Apples are part of the rose family and grow on deciduous trees that can reach up to 10 meters in height in the wild. The trees have dark green, oval-shaped leaves with serrated edges and produce white to pale pink blossoms in the spring.
Apples are used in many ways, including:
- Food and drink: Apple pie, apple crumble, apple cake, baked apple, stewed apple, apple juice, and apple cider
- Savory foods: Stuffing and sausage meat
There are thousands of varieties of apples, which fall into three broad classes: cider, cooking, and dessert. Apples are also a good source of antioxidants, which may help lower the risk of certain cancers.
