Woodstock Freeze Dried Cinnamon Apple Slices
What it is
These are thin slices of apple that have undergone a freeze-drying process. This method removes moisture while preserving the apple's natural flavor and texture. The slices are coated with cinnamon, adding a warm, sweet spice that complements the fruit. They offer a satisfying crunch and a concentrated apple taste. The process results in a shelf-stable product that retains much of the apple's original character.
How people cook with it
Freeze-dried apple slices are a versatile ingredient for both sweet and savory dishes. They can be enjoyed as a simple snack or incorporated into various recipes.

- Snack food
Enjoy these cinnamon apple slices straight from the bag for a quick and satisfying snack. They can also be added to your morning oatmeal or yogurt for a burst of flavor and texture. For baking, they can be rehydrated by soaking in warm water or juice before incorporating them into muffins, scones, or bread. Their concentrated flavor makes them a great addition to homemade granola or trail mix. They can even be crushed and used as a topping for baked goods.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike dried apple rings, freeze-dried apples retain a lighter, crisper texture rather than a chewy one. The freeze-drying process also tends to preserve more of the fresh apple's original shape and color, and the cinnamon coating provides a distinct spiced flavor profile.
