Apples are made mostly of water, fiber and sugar. "Nutrition" means macronutrients (apples are mostly carbohydrates with trace amounts of proteins), and micronutrients (apples have small amounts of potassium, calcium, magnesium and iron, vitamins C and A). Bigger apple means more nutrition unless it's more watery. Then it gives you more hydration. Example, modern strawberries, a product of hybridizing, are more watery have less nutrition per gram than wild strawberries – doesn't mean they're worse! And you can't get enough micros from apples (or bananas, or ANY single kind of fruit) alone. You need a balanced diet. Most fruits are healthy food either fresh or baked, because of the fibers, but processed ones, like caramel or flavour additives made from apples at that point are just flavoured sugar. So "health snack" granola bars with "fruit" are not healthier than a Snickers bar.
