Because red delicious apples are large, you get more sugar per serving due to the weight of the apple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re worried about the amount of sugar you&rsquo;re consuming when eating apples or are on a low-carb diet, then you might want to have a maximum of one apple per day. Choosing a smaller green variety will also help ensure your apple is lower in sugar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s important to remember the other benefits you get from apples (of all varieties) because they&rsquo;re packed with nutrients and are high in fiber. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope you&rsquo;ve found the answer you were looking for on this page; here&rsquo;s a quick rundown of the key points: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>An average medium-sized red delicious apple (weighing 212g) contains around 22.3g of sugar.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Red delicious apples tend to be a larger variety, and the larger the apple, the more sugar you will get per serving.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The sugar found in red delicious apples is mainly fructose which has less harmful effects than processed sugar.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Apples are high in nutrients and are still a healthy snack despite their relatively high sugar content. <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-group has-base-2-background-color has-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2>Related Pages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This page is part of a series of useful articles on the sugar content in apples and foods containing apples.
