Pay the Price, for the Nice ... Fresh Fruit!

Working downtown has many perks. Good shopping, great restaurants, and having Urban Fare on the same block. Although their prices are a bit steep, some of their items are well worth it. 4 Grapples for $5.99 = a price my mom would complain about. However, the juicy grape aroma that breathes from these grapples are heaven. I put them right on my desk, just so that I can catch a whiff of these babies. I also need to point out that I don't even usually like eating apples, but I love apple juice. Paired with raspberry/blackberry fruit tarts (also from Urban Fare), this light treat is perfect for a summer dessert.
PS - The grapples were also featured in my homemade salad below in the Swiss Chalet post. It was divine.

  3. I'm so intrigued by the sound of apples that taste like grapes. I definitely have to try those some time! Besides that, doesn't it sound cool to say: Hey, let's grab some Grapples. I think so! - Tina

  4. Ok so can't even believe you paid $6 bucks for 4 freakin' apples! They are apples right?? Apples that you can grab in a plastic case....grab + apples=grapples? Sure hope they were AT LEAST crispy cuz imho nothing worse than a mushy/mealy apple!

  5. I guess I should've clarified, grapples = grape and apples! They're like grape flavored infused apples, maybe injected with needles? I have no idea!
