What Is Apple Fritter?
Leafly calls Apple Fritter, also spelled Apple Fritters, a true hybrid put out by Lumpy's Flowers and a reported cross of Sour Apple and Animal Cookies. Weedmaps places Lumpy's Flowers in Northern California and notes that the often-quoted 50/50 split is not universal: Lumpy's labels its own version indica, while other growers call it balanced or slightly indica leaning. AllBud lists it as 50% indica and 50% sativa.
According to High Times, Sour Apple comes from Sour Diesel and Cinderella 99, and Animal Cookies from GSC and Fire OG; Leafly sums up the mix as the stone of GSC with the energy of a diesel. Weedmaps adds that later seed releases carry their own variation, so not every Apple Fritter is the original cut.
Look, Smell and Taste
AllBud describes spade-shaped, dark olive green buds with deep purple undertones, vivid orange hairs and a coat of white trichomes. The flavour is where the name comes from: AllBud describes sweet, fruity apple with a lightly cakey vanilla exhale, and Weedmaps describes baked-apple sweetness, vanilla and cinnamon-like spice over an earthy diesel finish. Leafly reviewers most often pick apple, butter and cheese.
Leafly's lab-sourced terpene data lists caryophyllene as the most abundant terpene, followed by limonene and pinene. High Times reported that an Apple Fritter entry at the 2016 Northern California Cannabis Cup received some of the judges' highest scores for taste and aroma.
Effects People Report
Leafly rates Apple Fritter as mostly calming. Across more than 750 ratings, the top effects are tingly, relaxed and giggly, and the most common negatives are dizziness, dry mouth and headache. Weedmaps says people describe an uplifted mood and substantial physical relaxation, sometimes with a giggly or creative streak, and that heavier sessions can lean sleepy depending on the batch, dose and person.
Because Apple Fritter often tests high in THC, start with a small amount. Health Canada's lower-risk cannabis use guidelines link higher THC potency with more short- and long-term problems, and advise waiting at least 6 hours before driving.
THC and Potency
Leafly lists Apple Fritter at about 24% THC and 0% CBD and rates it higher in THC than average. AllBud gives a range of 22% to 28%, and Weedmaps 18% to 28%. An entry at the June 2016 Northern California Cannabis Cup tested at 25.2% THC, which put it on High Times' Strongest Strains on Earth 2017 list. Numbers vary by grower and batch, so go by the label on the product you buy, and see how much THC percentage really matters.
Similar Strains
Apple Fritter's parent Animal Cookies has its own profile on this blog, as does Cinderella 99, one of the two strains behind Sour Apple. Leafly lists Apple Tartz and Grapple Pie as strains bred from Apple Fritter, and Weedmaps names Sour Apple, Apple Tartz and Cherry Fritter among its similar strains.
