MOVE OVER, HONEY! THERE’S A NEW CRISP IN TOWN.

PRESS KIT

IT STARTED WITH A CRISP. IF YOU LIKE HONEYCRISP, YOU’LL LOVE SNAPDRAGON. A decade of discovery, generations of experience and the lush growing seasons of New York State all came together to create the perfect superfood we call the SnapDragon® Apple. SnapDragon contains no fat, sodium or cholesterol and is an excellent source of fiber. And thanks to the energizing rush of natural sugars, a SnapDragon is a healthy alternative to that second cup of coffee.

SnapDragon was first planted in 2011 as the offspring of Honeycrisp. It’s now the coolest apple on the block. Snap is crispy, crunchy, and spicysweet. It’s available mid-fall through the New Year.
