About Apple Fritter
Apple Fritter was created by the breeder known as Lumpy, crossing Sour Apple with Animal Cookies. The strain's name perfectly captures its aroma — fresh apple, cinnamon, dough, and a hint of gas, like a freshly fried apple fritter pastry. The buds are dense and trichome-heavy with light green and purple coloration. Apple Fritter's effects are powerfully relaxing with a euphoric onset, making it popular for both recreational and medical consumers. Its commercial success was remarkable — by 2024 it was the #2 best-selling strain nationally on Leafly, behind only Blue Dream.
