What is crunch a bunch?

Crunch a Bunch is a variety of apple that is known for its classic shape and medium to large size. These apples typically have very little ribbing, making them appear smooth and uniform. The color of the peel is a vibrant yellow, and although most of the apples have a russeted appearance, the lenticel dots are dark and not easily visible against the yellow background.

One distinctive feature of Crunch a Bunch apples is their long and thin stem. While I don’t have a photographed example of the stem, it is worth mentioning as it adds to the overall appearance of the apple. The stem is often overlooked, but it can provide insights into the apple’s growth and maturity.

Interestingly, I noticed that one of the Crunch a Bunch apples I examined had a slight green tint in its yellow peel. This variation in color adds a touch of uniqueness to the apple and can make it visually appealing. It’s fascinating to observe these subtle differences in appearance within the same variety of apple.
