What it is
Dried sweetened apples are pieces of apples that have had most of their water removed through a drying process and have also been infused or coated with sugar. This process enhances their sweetness and extends their shelf life.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add dried sweetened apples to products primarily for their sweet and tart flavor, chewy texture, and as a source of fruit. They are commonly found in snack mixes, cereals, granola bars, and baked goods.
Health notes
Dried sweetened apples are considered a food ingredient, and their components (apples and sugar) are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. While apples contribute to fruit intake, the added sugars contribute to the overall sugar content of a food. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans advise no recommended amount of added sugars. There are no specific regulatory concerns or controversies associated with dried sweetened apples themselves beyond general dietary advice regarding added sugar intake.
Allergen info
Apples are not considered one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. This ingredient does not contain gluten.
