everytime i eat a apple(Red) afterwards my teeth are very sensitive for like an hour....so i was just wondering if they were acidic or if there is a reason behind this.

Yes, they're acidic, but I think it's something else in apples that causes your teeth to become sensitive.
I have the same problem. Sometimes walnuts do the same thing, or the white pulp between citrus zest and the meat of the citrus. Black walnut is worse in this regard than english walnut. I think it's allergic in nature; diphenhydramine HCl (benedryl) seems to prevent it.

They are slightly acidic, but not as much so as citrus fruit. I don't know why your teeth are sensative after. You could try cutting the apple into slices before eating. That might help your teeth.

They are slightly acidic, for sure, but should not cause discomfort when you eat one. I would suggest you consider consulting a dentist about your sensitive teeth.

I don't think it's acidness has anything to do with that.
