Apple & Onion is an animated TV show from America and Britain. It was created by George Gendi for Cartoon Network. The series is about two main characters, Apple and Onion. They live in a city where all the characters are food items that can talk and act like people!

George Gendi first thought of the idea for the show while working on The Amazing World of Gumball in London. He then brought his idea to Cartoon Network Studios in Burbank, California. They liked the idea and decided to make a short pilot episode.

This pilot was shown at the Annecy Festival in 2015. It was later released online in May 2016. Because people liked it, Cartoon Network decided to make it into a full series. The first episode aired on February 23, 2018.

On May 20, 2019, the show was given the green light for a second season.
