It’s an apple. No, it’s a grape. Wait! It’s both: A Grapple.
While doing some shopping today in QFC, I noticed a package of Grapple Brand apples. A few weeks ago, my boss had mentioned them to me so I figured I’d pick up a package and give them a try. I figured, what better food is there than something concocted by science. Bon Appetite.
According to their website, the process on how they make a Grapple is pretty straightforward: “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.”
Bummer I missed the special on the Food Network, it would have been interesting to watch. (Hey! Food Network! You need to get your programs on either iTunes or some other form of Video on Demand).

I’ve been tempted to buy these. Von’s offered me a freebie (I was in a rush and passed). Did you actually taste one yet? Was it good? Grapey?

It was good - basically tasted like a really juicy apple with a hint of grape. The kids loved them too.
However, at $4 for 4, probably just stick with good ole’ granny smith.
