The apple is in the Rose family, scientifically named Rosaceae.
You may be surprised to learn that many of the familiar fruits that you eat are also in this family. The rose family also includes pears, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, peaches, and almonds.
Although the leaves, fruits, and shapes of plants in this family are incredibly diverse, this family is easily identified by looking the flowers. Apple blossoms look almost like little 5-petaled roses; most of the flowers in this family look very similar.
