1st UPDATE: The last version of this video received 400K likes. If this one gets 450K likes, I'll begin a 5-year time lapse of an apple in water. Let's make this happen! It would be longer than the "Whole watermelon" one :D 2nd UPDATE: A lot of you asked for microscope video of the apple. It's already up on my channel! Read the following if you don't know what this video is about, and you need some context: Following the feedback on my last apple-in-water time lapse, (Title: What if you left an apple in water for 202 days?- 16M views, 400k likes, 17K comments) from nearly 2 years ago, many of you wanted the apple to be submerged for the entire experiment. In that video, the stubborn apple resurfaced after a 38 days. I didn't want to interfere with the time lapse, so I continued filming it like that. I pinned a comment under it to gauge interest in a new experiment, and the response was amazing! With 76,000 likes on that comment, it was clear that you wanted to see this happen. Thanks to your input, I've now kept the apple underwater for a full year using a gooseneck from a pop filter. Even with this setup the apple wanted to escape once, but I put it back into the water. :) Enjoy my new attempt at the apple-in-water time lapse, and I appreciate your continued support! If you shared this video with someone that would be a huge boost, thank you!

If water did that to an apple, imagine what it’s doing to your insides. We clearly need to stop drinking water.

Finally, someone who washes their apples properly.

an apple for 365 days will scare the doctor away

Finally someone who captured the essence of apple products.

The dedication of recording a 4k time lapse for a YEAR to make a 7 minute video is insane

To think I had lost half my friends, got my heart broken, re-met some of my closest friends I haven’t seen in years, cried over nothing, and this apple was just… underwater

So it becomes a potato

why did i feel emotional seeing the apple turn old it's just like watching a person turn old :(

I wonder if bro just has a warehouse full of rotting things in front of cameras, and each day he just checks them all 🗿

So for anyone wondering, the two layers on the top are the pectin from apple (to really oversimplify it, it's a sugar acid that lines the walls of terrestrial fruits and this is what becomes the jam part of fruit jam) and the layer on top of it is a thick colony of algae, which are just tiny cells that form these green colonies, basically. If you have a freshwater aquarium you have to clean them out, like, all the time. This is also the reason why it didn't smell bad or rotten, nothing here was rotting - the algae were probably feeding off pectin and with a film THAT thick, no air and no bacteria were making it to pectin, so the only smell you get is the smell of algae, and they smell of, well, pond.

Thx for the applepie WITHOUT MIXER recipe

The seed part is so satisfying

I followed your applesauce recipe and it turned out delicious! My kids and I love it! Thank you so much for sharing!

Imagine you're waiting 1 year for this, this would take top tier dedication and patience.

1. What was the temperature of the water? Were there any fluctuations throughout the year? 2. Which water did you use? Was it tap or bottled or any other kind. 3. Did you wash and dry the apple? Or did you use it right from purchase.

Thank you so much! I finally know how our schools prepare their “pears”.

Interesting fact: The gelatinous substance that raised to the top of the water is called pectin. Traditionally, apple peels were added to fruit jams, marmalade and compotes during the cooking to make them thicker and give them a jelly consistency.

As the days keep increasing, all I could think about was the life he was living behind the camera , the number of good news, bad news and everything in between he had to deal with and then come back to squeeze a rotten apple 🍎

Wow, dedication here. Couldn’t resist watching.

Interesting that the water actually kept a part of the apple from completely decaying. Or at least slowed it down significantly. Would love to see the 5 year time lapse.

thanks for dissecting it for us

좋은 아이디어 도전받고 갑니다 홧팅!! ^^

Oh man, this is going to be good! I can't wait for days 58 thru 68, especially; I've always heard those were the most interesting!

Its amazing how many significant moments theres been in life this year all while this apple was just floating in water..

Respect to this man for waiting a year to upload this

This is fascinating! I am interested in the other variables in this experiment. For example, was this tap water, purified water, spring water, distilled water, and what about the lighting or the temperature of the water, etc.? Thanks!

its amazing how one apple can create a whole ecosystem of mold

2:25 Apple survived more than the Camera.

the seeds just act like pimples now

oddly beautiful imo, that such an ordinary thing contains such a diverse variety of life and materials

Shout out to the cameraman for holding the camera steady for literally a year..Geez freaking amazing person.

Props to the cameraman who stood there the whole year EDIT: I KNOW ITS A JOKE AND ITS CORNY PLEASE STOP BULLYING ME...oh and thanks for the likes :)

master piece of art work 😮

It’s like it is turning color as the days go by.

I'm amazed it still retained its shape. The last few days of it just hanging in the water surrounded by murk were haunting in a way

Be interesting to see if you can actually preserve it by using a vacuum chamber to suck out the air first

I thought for certain it was going to sprout and you'd be planting a beautiful apple tree. 😊

So long and satisfying🔥🔥🔥🔥

I didn't expect it to be so much less rotten. Judging by the gunk on top, the sugars probably fermented into vinegar and that slowed down further rot. That, plus the gunk preventing oxygen from reaching the apple. Now I really want to see an apple in CO2 or pure nitrogen. Or at least an airtight container.

let's all just appreciate the fact he went through an ENTIRE CAMERA to deliver this to us. outstanding.

Mmmmm....YUM!🤢😆was wanting a new desert recipe..

What a great way to make apple sauce!

Buen experimento, tome su like buen hombre 👌🏻 se ganó un nuevo suscriptor 👊🏻 😎

Incredible, this Apple survived the harsh waters for a whole year. And then there is me who almost drowned in the rain

I am SO interested in seeing what some of these things look like under a microscope after the whole process. I'm sure the water is absolutely teeming with microbes, and I wonder what the sludge on the surface is mostly composed of (a bacterial mat, possibly?). I bet the cellular structure of the apple would also be visibly broken down. If you see this comment, I'd love if you took the microscope idea into consideration!

I loved the seed popping ngl

I respect your dedication ❤

I may be a little late to this but this is really cool! The reason that the apple is so soft and falls apart is not because of the water but because the bacteria that is present everywhere no matter what, was able to multiply by eating away at the cellulose and cellulose is just block chains of glucose. Which is why NileRed does the stuff he does.

It would be cool to examine some of that water and moss under the microscope after the 365 days to see what kind of stuff was growing there.

this was so poetic for some reason

Scrumptious.

The fact that it near instantly withered after being left out of the water is insane! Pretty cool!

Damn we need more creators who listen to us like this

Great job

Squishing a seed is just like squishing a pimple, I never want to squishy my pimples ever again

This apple has done more in a year than I have done in a lifetime.

This was beautiful, sad, soothing, eerie, and disgusting all at the same time. 10/10

that second to last minute was so nerve racking, feared at any moment you’d produce a fork and dig in

This video is so creepy but I liked it 😊 The experiment is very nice🤩

It doesn't matter if you lost 10 days, it's still a fascinating video to watch

Finally, the best apple sauce recipe. It’s worth it despite how long it takes! Recommend ❤❤❤❤

So interesting!!! The apple looked like candy in the end, you know pickled!!!

That seed pimple squishing had me

I dont know why but i fell a bit emotional to the apple after the 365 days, looking at it especially with the melody in the background makes it feel like the apple is alive, and that its a heart, anyone else feel the same?

Shoutout to the cameraman standing there and sacrifising a year of his life without eating or drinking and looking at food. That is commitment

This video was disgustingly interesting. Keep it up!

Never thought i’d see an apple get waterboarded until today

I don’t know if I ever will eat a apple again after watching this

3:55 forbidden chocolate fudge

Real Life golden Apple 😂😂 5:15

It's like a journey of life youth to old age 😮 everything is changing every moment

For some reason this made me emotional about my life.

The striations on the top layer of gelatinous goo after the whole year was weirdly intriguing. I wonder what was in each layer? Probably various types of dead/live microbes and/or their metabolic byproducts. Commenting to boost this videos appeal in the algorithm, since this channel satisfies my mildly morbid curiousity and is always so thoughtfully and artistically shot :) Hope you're having a good day!

Respect for the cameraman who stayed still taking a timelapse of an apple inside water for 1 year. Edit: Holy Shit I'm Famous!

That Apple Brought A Little Mold And A Little Life Into There

Why did the apple glow like an angel~

5:07 forbidden baked apple 😳

That is a beautiful apple. You should be proud. You took care of it the best you could but we all knew it wouldn't last. Thanks to videos like this I've been inspired to get my own pet water apple. Gorgeous, cute and legendary.

amazing. Basically creating Jadam Liquid Fertiliser using a single apple 😀

Looks fresh ngl

I wonder what difference it would make with lower oxygen concentration in the water, like it sometimes happens at the bottom of a lake.

3:48 mmm delicious chocolate fudge

Not gonna lie that looks like art

Homemade apple sauce. Yummy.

2:48 potato🥔🍟

Wow I didn't know that 1 year of my life is the same as an apple underwater

I find the seeds the most fascinating.

Class! 😘

Really amazing channel, im so glad I found it back then. Never disappoints

4:16 definitely caramel and chocolate

Nice expirement

inside my ice tea bottle, i can produce this in less than a week (without any fruit in it) - Nice Video! I've never seen it grow

An ecosystem of microbes in perfect harmony for a whole year only to be broken apart by a wooden spoon

5:50 The forbidden applesauce...

they took apple bobbing to the next level

Apple juice concentrate, preserved for 1 year. Nice work

lol I love how he plays with the fungus gunk in the water and the apple. That feels like such a more satisfying conclusion than just showing the timelapse. Because inevitably people would be thinking... what's it like to mess around with that gunk after.

I tried this recipe for that apple and it was absolutely delicious 😋 the seeds were the best but thanks for showing us this recipe for the perfect apple 😊

NOW EAT IT 😮 perfect for an apple pie, nice clean apple 👌
