Issac Newton is said to have thought up the laws of gravity while sitting under an apple tree and observig the falling apples.
Apple blossoms are the state flower of Michigan.
Washington, New York, Michigan, California, Pesylvania and Virginia produce over 83% of the nation's apple supply.
Fresh apples float because 25% of their volume is air.
The largest apple ever picked weighed 3lbs 2 oz.
