I feel even hungrier afterwards? Does this happen to anyone else and/or why do I feel hungry after?

Apples are high on the glycemic index, which means that they're very sugary (in a natural way). This causes your insulin levels to rise in order to balance out the added sugar, and then after the apple is "processed", you crave more sugar to balance out that added insulin.
Try eating your apple with peanut butter or cheese; the protein helps balance out the glycemic overload.

Because you're body is enjoying the vitamins you get from the apple. So it's signaling your body to eat more. And that signal comes as a hunger pain.

I think it has something to do with the sugar and carb content, i know protien snacks will keep you full and satisfied longer, try putting some peanut butter on your apple, the fat/protien of the pb will keep your blood sugar stable longer, therfore yo uwont be hungry, God Bless

apples have malic acid in them...it speeds up and helps regulate your digestive system...they also expand your stomach making you feel fuller longer, but in the process like I said it speeds up the digestive system (so what your feeling is not hunger, but the digestive system working)

Because an apple isn't a Snickers bar. It doesn't satisfy you!
