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.
Flavor Profile
The Story & Lineage Origin
Lumpy's Apple Fritter was released around 2020 and rapidly grew in popularity through word of mouth and dispensary demand. It became one of the rare modern strains to crack the national bestseller list, reaching #2 on Leafly's national ranking by 2024.
The strain's unique dessert-terpene profile (apple + pastry) was novel at the time and inspired a wave of fruit-and-pastry named strains. Apple Fritter remains one of the top-selling strains in the US market as of 2025.
