Setton Farms Organic Dried Apples
What it is
These are thinly sliced apples that have been dried to remove most of their moisture. The organic certification means they were grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. They are a convenient way to enjoy the taste of apples year-round. The drying process concentrates their natural sweetness and creates a chewy texture. They are a simple, wholesome snack option.
How people cook with it
Dried apples are versatile and can be used in both sweet and savory dishes. They add a burst of fruity flavor and a pleasant chewiness.
- Snack on them directly from the bag.
- Add to oatmeal or yogurt.
- Incorporate into baked goods.
- Mix into trail mix.
Enjoy these dried apples straight from the package for a quick and satisfying snack. They are also excellent when added to morning oatmeal or sprinkled over yogurt for a touch of sweetness and texture. For baking, they can be chopped and mixed into muffin batter, cookie dough, or bread recipes. They rehydrate slightly when cooked, softening their chewiness and infusing baked goods with apple flavor. They also combine well with nuts and seeds in homemade trail mixes.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to fresh apples, dried apples have a much longer shelf life and a more concentrated sweetness due to the removal of water. Their texture is chewy rather than crisp. They are also more portable and less prone to bruising than fresh fruit.
