"Crunches like an apple. Tastes like a grape."

What is it? Its a Grāpple®.

After reading their website, its an interesting concept. Although, I can't help but wonder how healthy infusing an apple with grape "flavor" really is. ("Ingredients: apples, natural and artificial flavor") We have not tried one yet, but if I see them in the grocery store I'll buy some out of curiousity.

From the Grāpple® website www.grapplefruits.com:

How Is A Grāpple® Brand Apple Made?

Grāpple® brand apples begin either as Washington Extra Fancy Gala or Fuji Apples, depending upon the season. These "premium apples" are the ones that take on the grape flavor best. This Patent Pending process is complex and the ingredient mix primarily includes concentrated grape flavor and pure water. All ingredients are USDA and FDA approved and the process has been licensed by the Washington State Department of Agriculture.

There is nothing but flavor being infused into the apple. A relaxing bathing process prepares our apples for you or your kids. The apple takes on no additional sugars or calories. They are not genetically altered in any way. The apple is as healthy as ever but now has the new exciting grape flavor. The process is better explained by the Food Network's "Unwrapped" show entitled "Grapeful". Check your local listings or

My question is this - why? Can't I just have an apple when I want an apple and grapes when I want grapes?Of course, there is always a chance that this marketing will work!!
