Apple Cup To Weight Conversion Charts
Please note that this data is based on average values (as per the USDA) and the weight of a cup of apple will vary depending on the size of the slices or chopped apple.
The smaller the apple is chopped, the more apple you can get in the cup because there will be less air space around it.

Apple Cup Conversion Weight FAQs
A cup of sliced apple weighs 109g, which is equal to just over one average-sized small apple. For example, an average-sized small apple weighs about 149g and the core (waste part of the apple) weighs around 30g which gives a net weight of 119g. If you’re using chopped (or cubed) apple, a cup will weigh 125g, which is equal to just over one small apple (without the core).
If the apple is sliced a cup will weigh about 109g so three pounds will be equal to 4.2 cups. If you’re using chopped (or cubed) apple a cup will weigh about 125g so three pounds will be equal to 3.6 cups of apple. Don’t forget to deduct the core weight if this isn’t already accounted for – the average apple core weighs 35g each.
