How Much Does An Apple Weigh?

Because no apple is the same, things can get a little confusing when you’re trying to work out an exact weight for counting calories or baking.

Each variety of apple varies in size so, to get an idea of weight without using scales, it helps to know the type of apple so you can get an average weight.

As a general rule, apples range in weight from 100g (3.5oz) to 223g (7.9oz) depending on the size and variety, and a large baking apple can weigh over 250g.

Read on to see a breakdown of average apple weights per variety and use our calculator to work out calories for exact weights for each variety.

How Much Does An Average Apple Weigh?

Because apples are a natural product, they vary in size, and each variety will grow to different sizes, depending on various factors.

I’ve categorized apple weights into sizes to keep things simple, from an extra-small eating apple to a large cooking apple.

Use the chart below to find the average weight of a generic apple in both metric and imperial weights, depending on size. Skip to the next section if you need average weights for a specific apple variety.

Apple Weights By Variety

Each variety of apples varies in size and weight, the table below shows a comparison of each apple variety categorized into average small, medium, and large apples (as per official USDA data).

Apple Weight Conversion And Calorie Chart

The quick reference table below will help you find conversion weights and calories for various servings of apple.

These figures are based on an average calorie value (calculated using the average calorie value of various apple varieties). The data assumes that 100g of generic apple (including skin) contains 59kcal (or 0.59kcal per gram).

Please note – the calorie value varies for each variety of apple will vary and red apples tend to be higher in calories than green. For specific calorie values per variety, we recommend using the calculator above.

For best results – calculate your apple weight using only the parts you’re going to eat and deduct the weight of the core.

Apple Cup Weights

If you prefer to measure using cups, you can expect a cup of sliced apple to weigh about 109g (3.8oz), and a serving this size will contain 64 calories (calories will vary depending on variety).
