What is in a Wendy’s Apple Bites?
Apple Bites are exactly what they sound like, sliced apples in a bag, served cold, and at around 35 calories they're the lightest side Wendy's sells. They exist as the fresh, no-fry alternative, especially as a kids'-meal side, and as the go-to for anyone cutting calories.
There's nothing to over-think here: no seasoning, no sauce, no cooking, just fresh apple slices. That's the whole appeal, a genuinely light, cheap side on a menu that mostly trends heavy.
They swap in as the side on kids' meals in place of fries, and pair with anything on the menu when you want to lighten the overall order.
