Dried apples are a popular and convenient snack made by dehydrating fresh apples, which concentrates their natural sweetness and extends their shelf life. They retain many of the nutrients found in fresh apples, including fiber, antioxidants, and certain vitamins, although some vitamin C is lost during drying. Dried apples are often used in trail mixes, baked goods, or enjoyed on their own as a chewy, naturally sweet treat. They come in various forms—rings, slices, or chips—and may be unsweetened or lightly sweetened, making them a versatile and healthy option for on-the-go snacking.
