grapple

Grapple may refer to:

• Grappling, techniques, maneuvers, and counters applied to an opponent in order to gain a physical advantage
• Grapple tackle, a controversial tackling technique used in rugby league
• Submission wrestling (also submission grappling), a formula of competition

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.
