Dried apple slices afs 500g

These dried apple rings come from South Africa and are packed by G. Detou in a 500 g vacuum bag. The apples are cut into rings with the core removed, then dried: the result is soft, golden yellow rings that keep the sweet, slightly tart taste of the fruit. The 500 g size suits kitchens that use them often, for baking as well as for snacks.

As they are, they go into a lunch box or onto a cheese board, next to an aged Comté or a blue cheese. Diced, they add texture to granola, muesli or a loaf cake batter. For baking, soak them first for twenty to thirty minutes in warm apple juice, tea or a dash of calvados: they soften again and are then ready for a crumble, a rustic tart, a strudel or a winter compote with prunes. In savoury cooking, they go with black pudding, fill a poultry stuffing or join an onion chutney.

Once the bag is open, move the rings to a well-closed jar, kept dry and away from heat so they stay soft, and use them before the date shown on the label. You will also find them on the shelves of our shop, 58 rue Tiquetonne, Paris.
