Fruits
Substitutes for Apple in gelato
Fresh apple (Malus domestica) is a high-water, low-solids fruit (~14.5% solids, ~10.4% sugars) whose fructose-dominant sugar profile gives it a notably high anti-freezing power relative to its sugar load. In gelato it contributes fruit solids, moderate sweetness and above-average PAC. If you're out of apple or need a different profile, these are the closest functional swaps — ranked by how similar they are on the balancing numbers, with the impact of each swap.
