Fuji Apple Crab


Fuji Apple Crab

Made a crab out of one Fuji apple the other day. Originally intended to do a lobster, but decided to go with a crab since it turned out to look more like the latter. It can even pass for a spider because of its pointy legs!

I've realized that apples are pretty easy and convenient to create fun food art designs. And not to mention, they're always laying around in the kitchen! All you need is one apple. :)


Fun Facts:

  • Fuji apples are a hybrid between 2 different apples: the Red Delicious (from Iowa) and the Virginia Ralls Genet apples (from Virginia) and crossbred in Japan! 
  • They are sweeter, lighter (in color & taste), and juicier than Red Delicious apples.
  • Supposedly, they can remain fresh for a whole year without refrigeration!
  • Fuji apples are the most popular type of apple in Japan.
  • The term 'fuji' came from the the town Fujisaki, Aomori, Japan, not Mt. Fuji.
