SPARTA, MI – How bout’ them apples?

Widespread freezing rain has brought a “new” type of apple to West Michigan.

Behold, the “ghost apple.”

Sparta resident Andrew Sietsema took these photos on Wednesday depicting ice casings left behind from apples in West Michigan’s fruit producing country.

He found the unique formations while pruning apple trees.

The “ghost apples” likely formed when the freezing rain coated the rotting apples, creating an icy shell around the fruit.

When the rotten apples fell to the ground, they left the ice formations behind.
