Apple Picking 101: What Are Bushels and Pecks? – Globe Bag. Web The difference between a bushel and a peck is pretty straightforward. Both words are units to measure the number of apples you have. Thirty-two quarts equals a bushel, and a peck equals one-quarter of a bushel (eight quarts). That means that one bushel.
Web Those paper bags of apples you see in the grocery store are usually a half-peck, containing 5 or 6 pounds of apples. This is just about the right size to make two large apple pies. A full peck of apples will weigh 10 to 13 pounds and contain about 30 good-sized apples, enough for a couple of pies and plenty of fresh apples.
