Number of participants (%) reacting to Golden Delicious before and after AIT. Patients (n = 16) were provoked with the high allergenic Golden Delicious before and after therapy in 2018 and 2019 for AIT assessment. The respective apple amounts that induced first OAS symptoms (e.g., itching/scratching) are divided into three ranges: range 1 (0.1–8.6 g) peeled, range 2 (13.6–43.6 g), and range 3 (83.6–163.6 g) unpeeled. In some cases, more than one full apple (163.6 + 100 g) was tolerated without any symptoms (=no reaction); ***p < .001, Wilcoxon signed‐rank test
