Apple Fritter is a Californian hybrid of Sour Apple and Animal Cookies that became one of the most sought-after strains of the early 2020s for its sweet, pastry-like aroma and strong effect. Royal Queen Seeds' feminised release brought it to European growers in stable seed form, and it is now among the best-selling RQS lines at Express Highs.

Genetics and lineage
Apple Fritter is a feminised photoperiod variety from Royal Queen Seeds, classed as indica / sativa hybrid. The breeder lists its parentage as Sour Apple x Animal Cookies. Potency is rated high THC (16-24%) with low CBD (0-1%), which places it in the mainstream of modern genetics.
Planning a grow of Apple Fritter
Indoors, plan on roughly 12–14 weeks from seed to harvest: about 4 weeks of vegetative growth before switching to 12/12, then 8–10 weeks of flowering.
Outdoors in central Europe a 8–10 week flowering window means harvest lands in mid-to-late October — workable in a dry autumn, but a greenhouse or a sheltered south-facing spot takes the risk out. In southern France, Spain and Italy it is an easy outdoor plant.
Medium height: fits a standard 1.2 m tent without training, though a single topping evens out the canopy.
What yield to expect
The breeder rates indoor yield as average yield (350-450gr/m2). Outdoors the rating is high yield (450-750gr/plant), which assumes a full season in good sun and a large container or open soil. Treat these as the ceiling under experienced hands; a first grow typically lands at half to two-thirds of the figure.
