From Granny Smith to Golden Delicious, apples are one of the most popular fruits in the world for a reason.
It's easy to overlook apples in favour of more exotic fruit but there are plenty of varieties to sink your teeth into if you fancy a new twist on one of the world's most popular fruit. Green, red or yellow, there are more than 7,500 varieties of the humble apple, with around 2,500 in the UK alone. Whether your taste leans towards crisp or juicy, this hugely versatile fruit makes a perfect portable snack, dessert star or accompainment to savoury dishes. Apple pies will never go out of fashion but expand your sweet repertoire with fried apple wedges or classic strudel. And taste isn't the only reason to reach for apples in the kitchen – there's good reason behind the saying “an apple a day, keeps the doctor away.” The fruit is rich in vitamins and the fibre pectin which can benefit gut health and help reduce cholesterol.
