How to measure sliced apples
The USDA entry is “Apples, raw, with skin, 1 cup slices = 109 g”. King Arthur Baking’s chart gives 113 grams per cup for peeled, sliced apples and 85 grams for diced dried apples. Apple slices are one of the lightest fresh fruits here per cup: sliced peaches are 154 grams and mango pieces 165 grams. Only fresh cranberries, at 100 grams, come lower. Weigh the fruit when a pie recipe lists grams. Half a cup is about 55 grams. Unsweetened applesauce, by contrast, is 244 grams per cup.
Sources: 109 grams per US cup is the cup weight in USDA FoodData Central (open FDC entry 171688), entry “Apples, raw, with skin (Includes foods for USDA's Food Distribution Program), 1 cup slices = 109 g”. A US cup is about 237 milliliters.
