Without dousing them in sugar first, apple chips would not be "so sweet"; the fructose that makes fruits sweet break down when heated and water gets extracted, concentrating the natural acids in the apple, which is why if you don't add a lot of sugar to apples when cooking them for apple pie, the end product turns really tart. Given the family's finances, it's unlikely they'd be able to douse the apple chips in sugar.

It's a little bit like the author isn't all that knowledgeable about cooking but wants to write a cooking manga anyways.

They always use yen to compare the worth of money. Field mice is a valid substitute

I also laughed at the bit about them claiming that wild apples from the forest are sweet. Wild apples are so sour and not sweet at all, if you wanted an apple that was more like those, it's the Granny Smith apple which is used in baking. Sweet apples is actually a rather modern thing and the Red Delicious was a revolutionary cultivar because it was sweet, though ultimately it became a victim of success and in an attempt to make it more shelf stable we ended up with the tasteless mushy version we have today. Also sweet apples are from mutants of a specific tree so to keep getting sweet apples you have to graft the limbs to other trees. Apple trees grown from the seeds of that mutant tree often do NOT inherit the sweet apple trait and go back to being sour

Wild fruit that is truly sweet has always been berries
