• Cooked apples: Cooked apples are used to prepare different dishes, both sweet and savory. Most end up in pies, pastries, cakes, or applesauce. While cooked dishes may retain some aspect of the original apple flavor, the taste tends to be sweeter, more concentrated, and different with notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, or vanilla.

Scenarios

Modeling Apple computer in fondant is one way that uses big apples. This is a very detailed process through which one may use photographs as references to create a three-dimensional version of an apple in fondant. The final version may then be painted accurately to resemble the real fruit or apple. To do this, photographs of real apples are very helpful. They can be used for reference. By using sculpting and texturing tools, one can create a realistic skin texture for the carved apple. The details can then be painted using non-toxic edible colors. Edible luster dust can also be used to add dimension and shine to this modeled apple once it has been dried completely. The leaves and stem part can also be created using fondant or gum paste. It can be detailed and then attached to the modeled apple for more realism.

Automobile designers and visualizers are other users of big apples. 3D modeling of big apples digitally helps to visualize what a real apple would look like in the real world. This is not a big apple though, but rather an apple that is in fondant or inspired by the original fruit. The process begins by collecting reference photos of big apples. This is so that exact or real measurements can be taken. Then, using computer-aided design software, the modeling designer can create a detailed 3D model of the apple. The texture of this modeled apple is then given realistic skin textures and colors. Using rendering techniques, the final image of the big apple can be given in a specified way. This can be time or different lighting scenarios. The use of physical prototypes for big apples allows for hands-on evaluation. Physical prototyping may involve 3D printing of the apple or model. This enables form, fit, and function testing of the automobile designer's original design.

Choosing the right big apples

• Appearance: The apple's size, skin color, and smoothness are part of its appearance. A big apple, as the name suggests, is larger than others. Its skin can be bright red, green, yellow, or a mix of these colors. The skin of some apples, like the Granny Smith, has a rough texture. In contrast, the skin of a Red Delicious apple is smooth.
