Crunch Time!
Ellie Wilson, MS, RDN Senior Nutritionist
Apples are amazing – sweet, tart, crunchy and crave-worthy! This is apple season, and we have the benefit of enjoying local apples and apple cider, especially the super crunchy, super juicy Snapdragon® born and raised in New York! Sweet and spicy, with hints of vanilla, it is a variety that has the bonus of being the product of a cross with the super popular Honey Crisp – YUM! Fun fact – New York ranks second in the U.S. for apple production, with more than 1 billion pounds grown each year!![Picked Apples](https://www.pricechopper.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/apples-body-shot.jpg)
