Grapple ( ) is the registered brand name for a commercially marketed brand of
Fuji or
Gala apple that has been soaked in a solution of
methyl anthranilate and
water in an attempt to make the flesh taste like a
Concord grape. This solution does not add additional sugars or caloric content, nor does it affect the nutritional value of a standard apple. All ingredients are
USDA and
FDA approved and the process has been licensed by the Washington State Department of Agriculture. Contrary to what the name implies, it is an externally flavored fruit product, not a true
hybrid of two fruits.
