What is the sugar content of an apple?

The sugar content of an apple can vary depending on the variety and ripeness of the fruit. On average, a medium-sized apple (around 180 grams) contains about 19 grams of sugar. This includes both natural sugars (fructose and glucose) and small amounts of sucrose. The sugar content can vary from around 10 grams in some green apple varieties to over 25 grams in some sweet dessert apples. It's worth noting that the sugar content of apples is mainly in the form of fructose, which is a natural sugar that is absorbed and metabolized differently compared to other types of sugars like sucrose or glucose.
