Washington State is known for its apples, and for good reason! Washington State produces more apples than any other U.S. state, with sales over $2 billion each year. More than half of all apples grown in the United States for fresh eating come from orchards in Washington, and are sold in all 50 states and more than 40 countries. Apples are delicious and super convenient. They can be eaten fresh, sliced, dipped, dried, or turned into sauce and juice.
