The apple tree grows in more parts of the world than any other fruit tree, and belongs to the same scientific family as roses. Apple trees need well-drained soil to grow and a period of cool winter weather to rest before the fruit-growing season. Apple is often called the king of fruits. An apple a day keeps the doctor away. And that’s true, because it has vitamins, minerals, and carbohydrates.
Apples are grown for eating, cooking, and juicing. They are also preserved as jams, jellies, apple butter, and chutneys. Apples may be red, green, greenish yellow, pink, or orange. They are about 5 to 10 centimeters wide.

There are thousands of varieties of apple. Apples contain fruit sugars, fiber, and the vitamins A and C.
Humans discovered the apple a long time ago. There are pictures of apples carved on stone by Stone Age people, and apples are mentioned in the Bible.
