This has to do with with the mixture of honeys and apples being associated with Vermont in Japan, though I'm not quite sure how wildly known that is or why.
It's because there was a book called "Folk Medicine: A Vermont Doctor's Guide to Good Health" that kicked off a health fad called the "Vermont health system" in Japan. It included drinking apple cider vinegar and honey. The curry then appropriated the name for its health connotations.
I hope this isn't rude, but how did you know that?
I was curious too, did a web search, and found this:

Awesome! Thank you!
I'm a huge fan of this style of curry, and went down a rabbit hole a few years ago learning lots of stuff about Japanese style curry.
Thank you! I'll have to give it a try.
TIL! Blows my mind as just yesterday I was buying some more S&B Gold at the store and was really curious about this brand. Cool insight.
You can get a similar vibe out of golden curry by peeling and pureeing a couple apples. I add them after the onions get soft and fry some moisture out of them before the water and tubers go in.
Just not my vibe, prefer spicy.
I should try it once but when the recipe says “add honey” I hear “add hot sauce”. Apples sound crazy.
