I love apples. Especially red delicious apples. I have one every day for breakfast and usually one in the afternoon for a snack.
Fun Facts:
Apples are part of the rose family.The old saying "an apple a day, keeps the doctor away" comes from am old English adage, "To eat an apple before going to bed, will make the doctor beg his bread."

Apples are fat, sodium, and cholesterol free.
A medium apples is about 80 calories.
The largest apple picked weighed three pounds.

I like apples. Especially when they're baked in a pie and served with custard. Still only 80 calories, right?
