🍏 green apple Emoji — Meaning, Copy & Paste

What Does the green apple Emoji 🍏 Mean?

Same shape as the red apple, but rendered in bright Granny Smith green with the same small brown stem and a leaf or two on top — the green apple emoji is the tart, crisp counterpart to its red sibling. Texters use it for cooking content (Granny Smith is the baking-apple champion), healthy-snack posts, and crisp-fall-weather captions. Pie-baking, caramel-apple, and apple-crisp content lean on it just as heavily as the red version, especially in fall.

Beyond food, it shows up in posts about Apple Inc. (the brand's logo silhouette echoes a green apple in some renderings), and in coded references to the App Store. In flavor content — sour candy, hard cider, candy-apple recipes — green tends to mean tart, and the green apple emoji becomes a quick visual cue for that profile. Some texters use it for fresh, sour, or wake-you-up energy.

Added to Unicode 6.0 in 2010 alongside the red apple, this emoji has stayed a steady alternative that handles all the tart-apple use cases the red version can't.
