What are red apples?

Red apples are fruits that look like little red balls you can eat.

Imagine you have a basket full of different kinds of fruits, some are green, some are yellow, and some are red. The red apples are the ones that stand out because they’re bright red, just like your favorite sweater on a chilly day.

What makes them red?

Inside each apple is a special kind of juice that gives it flavor and color. When an apple grows up in the sun, it gets more color, turning from green to red, kind of like how your face might get rosy when you run outside on a sunny day.

What do they taste like?

Red apples are usually sweet and a little bit crunchy. They’re like the snack you take during recess, easy to hold, fun to bite into, and great for sharing with friends.

You can eat them as they are, or you can use them to make pies, cookies, or even apple juice!
