What are Apples?

Apples (Malus domestica) are one of the most popular fruits worldwide. They can be sweet or tart and have a crunchy bite. People eat them fresh, drink apple juice, or use them in recipes like pies, sauces, and salads. Apples have been cultivated for thousands of years and are important in cooking, both at home and in food production. Their mild sweetness and chewy texture make them a great match with other fruits like pears, plums, and cranberries.

Types, Varieties & Forms

Dried apples come in different types and forms to serve various cooking, selling, and manufacturing needs. They can be made from well-known apple varieties like Fuji, Granny Smith, Gala, and Golden Delicious. Each type has its own unique taste and texture.

Here are the common forms available:

• Slices & Rings - Good for snack mixes, cereals, or eating on their own.
• Diced Apples - Ideal for granola, baked goods, and ready-to-eat meals.
• Apple Powder - Used to add flavor to smoothies, candies, and supplements.
• Apple Chips - Thin, crispy slices that are tasty as snacks or toppings.

Dried apples can be sweetened or unsweetened. They can also be sulphured or unsulphured, depending on the processing method and market demand. Finally, they can be available either with or without skin.

Harvest Season

Apples are usually picked from late summer to early fall. When they are ready to harvest depends on the type of apple and where they are grown. For example, Gravenstein apples are often ready in August, while Fuji apples are harvested in October. Picking apples at the right time helps them stay tasty and last longer, whether they are sold fresh or dried.
