Big Apple, Roadside attraction in Northumberland County, Canada.

Big Apple is a giant apple-shaped structure along Highway 401 with an observation platform accessible from multiple levels. Inside you'll find a bakery, restaurant, gift shop, and children's playground.

George Boycott, an Australian immigrant inspired by Queensland's Big Pineapple, moved to Colborne in 1976 and planned the structure with local builder Henry Mensen from 1983. It opened in 1987, funded by a government loan and investment from trucking owner Doug Rutherford. Boycott sold his stake in 1992 and later served as the last reeve of Colborne before its 2001 amalgamation with Cramahe.

The name comes from New York City's nickname, which George Boycott borrowed for his apple-shaped building. The site sells around 2,000 apple pies a week, and in April 2020 its staff donated hundreds of pies to hospital workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. In July 2020 a face mask was hung on the structure in support of front-line workers.

The site sits directly on Highway 401 and is easily accessible via Exit 497. Parking is available on-site, and the facilities welcome visitors of all ages with dedicated areas for children.

The structure is named "Mr. Applehead" and weighs 42 tonnes; its builders say it could hold 650,000 apples. A cartoon face was painted on it in 2013, and in July 2020 a face mask was hung on it in support of front-line workers.
