Do different types of apples have the same macronutrients?

This is one thing I've always wondered. Do apples like fuji, granny smith, and red delicious, all have the same macros if each apple is the same size?

    The main difference will be the sugar content because different types of apples are sweeter or more tart than others. There can be a slight difference in calories also because some types have more water than others. Your best bet in logging an apple is to find the USDA entry for that specific type.
