According to MarketWatch, Grapples (pronounced grape-ells) are an annual treat that's quickly growing in popularity, especially when it comes to children. The seasonal items, which are sold from October through May, begin as Washington State Gala apples or Fuji apples. The apples are bathed in a patented mix of Concord grape flavor and water. The Grapple brand's website boasts that the process does not add sugar or calories to the apples. The apples also maintain their red color. Currently, they are sold in packs of four at $2.99-$3.99 each.

But perhaps Grapple has tapped into the future of fruit. Maybe soon we'll have orange-flavored bananas and kiwi-flavored watermelons. What do you think? Are Grapples a good idea?
