I’ve put together this article to help you work out apple weights, calories, and servings of various portion sizes.
Use the charts and information below to find the exact information you need for both calorie counting and recipe planning.
Apple Weight Guide
Because apples are a natural product, they vary in size and variety, and within each variety they grow to different sizes, depending on many factors.
I’ve categorized apple weights into sizes to keep things simple, from a small eating apple to a large cooking apple.
Use the chart below to find the average weight of an apple in both metric and imperial weights, depending on size:
| Apple Size | Average Metric Weight | Average Imperial Weight |
| Average small eating apple (such as Honey Crisp) | 70-100g/0.07-0.1kg | 2.5-3.5oz/0.15-0.22lb |
| Average medium eating apple (such as Pink Lady or Golden Delicious) | 100-130g/0.1-0.13kg | 3.5-4.6oz/0.22-0.29lb |
| Average large eating apple (such as Granny Smith or Red Delicious) | 130-160g/0.13-0.16kg | 4.6-5.6oz/0.29-0.35lb |
| Average large cooking apple (such as Bramley) | 200-300g/0.2-0.3kg | 7.1-10.6oz/0.44-0.66lb |
The images below show what average apple sizes and weights look like on a scale, for medium, large, and cooking apples;
