The Big Apple Crunch originated in New York City in 2012.  It was created by nonprofit GrowNYC in partnership with the NYC Office of Food Policy as NYC’s way of celebrating Food Day. In its first year, approximately 400,000 New Yorkers bit into a locally grown New York State apple at the same time on Food Day, October 25th. In 2013, the Big Apple Crunch in New York City set a world record with 1,000,000 people participating. Since then, the activity has spread across the country, and thousands of locations have participated in Apple Crunches on and around October 24th in celebration of National Food Day.
