About Sweetie apples
Sweetie apples are a variety of apple that blends the best of Royal Gala apples and Braeburn apples. They taste very sweet, with a hint of spiciness, and are low in acidity. The skin is lightly blushed in color, and the flesh is firm, crisp, but succulent. Underneath the skin, the flesh is aqueous, light yellow, and a bit coarse, and has brown-black seeds encased in small central cores. The Sweetie apple was developed in New Zealand, but it's widely grown in Asia, Europe, and America today through selected growers.
They are a variety of fruit that is rich in fiber and vitamins like vitamin A, calcium, magnesium, iron, and potassium. The abundance of natural antioxidants helps to regulate digestion and boost the immune system. When Sweetie apples are consumed regularly, they can help boost collagen production and fight inflammation in the skin. A Sweetie apple has low acidity and thus can lower the chance of acid reflux and heartburn. Not to mention, they taste delicious!
How to pick out Sweetie apples
Consider these tips when trying to pick out a ripe and tasty Sweetie apple:
- Look at it closely. After choosing an apple, examine it from all angles to check its quality. Although some scuff or specks are natural signs and are not necessarily signs of a bad apple, obvious bruising or decay signs are clear signals that you would not be getting a good quality apple. You should also be on the lookout for small cuts and slices that may occur during packing and transport. Although pierced skin doesn't necessarily mean the apple isn't a good one, it usually means that it will go bad quicker than usual.
- Check its firmness. After visually inspecting every side, you should gently press its skin in several areas to see if it's firm. Soft and mushy apples haven't necessarily gone bad, but they usually won't provide an eating experience as good as firms ones do.
- Smell your Sweetie apple. Fresh apples give out a strong and pleasant aroma, unlike bad ones, which usually have a slightly stale smell. As with most fruit, a fresh smell is usually a good indication of a fresh piece of fruit.
How to eat Sweetie apples
Sweetie apples are edible, very sweet, and best taken raw when they're fresh. Eating Sweetie apples fresh means you'll enjoy their crisp flesh and sweet flavor better than when it has been stored for months. You can also juice your apples, keeping the fresh beverage in the refrigerator to serve cold. Another way is to blend them into applesauce and season them with aromatics or add it to your oatmeal, crepes, or waffles. Sweetie apples also go well with nutmeg, vanilla, cinnamon, caramel, and walnuts when making bread, cakes, muffins, and other desserts.

FAQs about Sweetie apples
To keep your Sweetie apples fresh, consider the proper types of storage. The first is temporary when you just want to keep your apples for 1 to 3 weeks because you cannot eat your grocery delivery all at once. In this situation, put the apples in a paper bag and place them in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator. Apples can last up to 2 weeks this way.
A longer-term storage method is to keep the apples in boxes lined with foil or plastic. Sweetie apples are best stored this way at 30 to 32 degrees F, for a maximum of 6 months. If stored at a higher temperature, they will ripen faster and rot. You can also dry or can sweetie apples to enjoy them well after the fresh fruit season has passed.
Selected growers cultivate sweetie apples, and marketing is well controlled. Therefore, you cannot find them readily available in every local food and fruit store.

Sweetie apples are considered by many to be too sweet to bake with, but it depends on what you are trying to bake and your own personal taste. They can be mixed with other types of apples in order to add some sweetness to an apple pie and create a balanced flavor. However, their crispiness and sweetness make them more suitable for fresh eating.
