Bottom line
Per 100 g, Apple (Fuji) provides 65 kcal, 0.1 g protein and 15.7 g carbohydrate; Apple (Granny Smith) provides 59 kcal, 0.3 g protein and 14.1 g carbohydrate.
That is a difference of 6 kcal per 100 g.
Fuji is the sweeter apple and carries a little more sugar per 100 g; Granny Smith is the sour one. In baking that difference decides how much sugar the recipe needs, and tart apples hold their shape better under heat, which is why they dominate in pies.
In short: granny smith is the lighter option per 100 g, but with fruit the portion on the plate usually matters more than the difference between them.
