Dried apple rings

Dried apple rings are thin slices of apple from which most of the water content has been removed through a dehydration process. This ingredient maintains the sweet, authentic flavor of apple in a concentrated and crunchy form, ideal for adding texture and a natural touch to various recipes, from desserts to healthy snacks.

The origin of dried apple rings lies in the traditional practice of preserving fruit to extend its shelf life, a technique that has been used in various cultures around the world, including regions of Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Today, dried rings are produced commercially through air-drying or freeze-drying to preserve their flavor and nutrients.

Among their properties, their high dietary fiber content, vitamins (especially vitamin C and antioxidants), and low caloric content stand out. Furthermore, being free of added sugars and a natural product, they are a healthy option to complement sweet or savory recipes, as well as to consume as a snack.

In different regions of Latin America, dried apple rings may also be known as roscas de manzana secas, rodajas de manzana deshidratadas, or simply manzana seca en aros.
