APPLES
in appealing ways

Choose your favorite apple—a fragrant Winesap, a juicy Stayman, a tart Northern Spy ... each variety has its own appeal. And the versatile apple can lend flavor to your main course, salad, bread, or dessert.

An apple, eaten raw, makes a pleasant, low-calorie snack or dessert. A medium-size apple contains only 70 calories.

Like other fruits, apples contain some vitamins and minerals. Bottled or canned apple juice may be fortified with vitamin C.
