Lil Snappers were made for snacking! The colorful packaging and playful characters entice kids and their parents to pick up a convenient, healthy grab-and-go apple snack. Lil Snappers can be the perfect addition to lunchboxes or sliced for a snack with peanut butter. The product comes as a three-pound bag of apples or pears, an ideal size for families and their store trip frequency.

Lil Snappers, introduced to Stemilt in 2011, are available year-round so shoppers can enjoy them from winter to summer. Most of Stemilt’s apple and pear varieties are available as Lil Snappers and include Artisan Organics® apples and pears too.  Stores can look for all Stemilt’s favorite apples in Lil Snappers including Honeycrisp, Fuji, Gala, Pink Lady®, Granny Smith, Golden Delicious and Red Delicious. For pears, look for Bartlett, d’Anjou, Concorde, Bosc and Red pears in Lil Snappers. Though Stemilt grows fruits in all sizes, its Lil Snappers packages are saved special for the most petite fruits that come off the tree with super flavor.
