7 Healthiest Types Of Apples

Imagine walking into an orchard on a crisp autumn morning, the air smells like cinnamon and possibility, and every apple is secretly competing to be the MVP of your lunchbox. Spoiler: not all apples are created equal! Some are basically superheroes in red (or green) disguises.

So here are the 7 healthiest apple varieties that nutritionists quietly obsess over. Ready? Let’s bite in!

Apple is considered to be one of the most healthiest fruits known to mankind. This saying that we’ve been taught since childhood: “An apple a day, keeps the doc doc away,” not only highlights its nutrious qualities but also how beneficial it is for one’s health. 

Honeycrisp


These are stupidly juicy, and the fiber is legit—my stomach stays happy for hours. I’ve stopped snacking on crap in the afternoon since I started keeping two of these at my desk.

Opal


Golden and gorgeous, and they literally don’t turn brown when you cut them. Perfect for someone lazy like me who preps lunch at night. Also, crazy high vitamin C—I swear I didn’t get sick once last winter and I’m blaming these.

Pink Lady


These blush like they’re embarrassed to be this healthy. Highest antioxidants out of everything I tried, and they stay crunchy forever. I buy them in bulk in November and they’re still perfect in February. Witchcraft.

Cosmic Crisp


New kid on the block and already my favorite. Super loud crunch (my dog runs every time I bite one), thick skin, and apparently the peel holds onto fewer pesticides. Also fiber for days—my digestion has never been more… regular.

Envy


Tastes like someone crossed an apple with a pear in the best way. Slow to brown, super high vitamin C, and has that green-tea compound everyone’s obsessed with. I feel fancy eating these.

Braeburn


Underrated af. Spicy-sweet, firm, and the peel has this ursolic acid thing that supposedly helps you keep muscle while you get older. I’m 34 and clinging to that promise.

Fuji


The sweetest on the list but doesn’t spike my blood sugar like candy does (weird, right?). Also loaded with potassium—whenever I’m crampy after the gym, I grab one and it actually helps.
