Apple Tarts (D27)

Description

Apple Tarts (D27) is a delicious balanced hybrid (50% indica / 50% sativa) that brings together the sweet, candy-like vibes of Runtz with the tart, baked-apple goodness of Apple Fritter. Bred by Clearwater Genetics, this strain is famous for its mouthwatering flavor profile reminiscent of Apple Jacks cereal or fresh apple pastries with a hint of cinnamon spice.

The D27 designation highlights a specific phenotype or standout cut prized for its elevated potency (often testing around 26–27%+ THC), vibrant terpene expression, and excellent resin production. It delivers a versatile high that starts with uplifting euphoria and mental clarity before easing into a soothing body relaxation — making it a crowd-pleaser for both daytime creativity and evening unwinding.

Buds are dense and frosty with trichomes, featuring bright green hues, orange pistils, and occasional purple accents for strong bag appeal.
