So, what did you do for National Apple Day yesterday? Nothing?! Nothing at all?! You mean to tell me you didn’t graze on a Granny Smith? Gobble a Golden Delicious? You didn’t so much as bother a Braeburn? For shame. Next you’ll be telling me you didn’t partake in the annual apple-based food fight – it’s a bit like the Spanish Tomatina festival, except with significantly more injuries.

OK, so I’ll admit, I didn’t do anything for National Apple Day, either. I’m feeling a wee bit guilty, so I thought I’d alleviate that guilt a little by trawling through the Flickr dungeons (so you don’t have to) and finding some interesting, beautiful or generally noteworthy apple-themed images. You wouldn’t believe how many people have inserted some rather distinctive white headphones into an apple. None of those images will feature.

That said, here are ten of the best. Chomp away. You can count this as part of your five-a-day.
