Most fruits have high water than the solid percentage. Apples have a dry mass that weighs less than the mass of water.
A fool-proof method to check the water percentage of an apple is to weigh a whole apple first. Let the weight be recorded as A1 gms.
Heat the apple so that the water evaporates from the water and re-weigh the apple. Let this weight be A2 gms.
The difference between A1 and A2 is the water content in the apple.
Usually, an apple has 65% of water content.
