Yes those disgusting heathens at the FDA approve of dying apples. Ick. But they also identified ketchup as a vegetable in 1982 so that's about as far as you can trust those vested morons.
So there are 2 parts to this.
1. Dyes they put in apples
2. dyes you can make FROM apples.
1. oh how depressing...
While its really difficult to dye a whole apple because of the varying permizbility of the fruit, dried apples in instand oatmeal and the like are frequently dyed for color consistency.
2. What fun.
Many fruits, vegetables and flowers make great natural dyes for foods as well as fabrics. With the holidays upon us, let's take a look at the typical American holiday dinner and find as many items as possible to make dyes. Save the peels from some yellow apples. They can be made into a golden yellow dye, or greenish-yellow if they were green apples.
