Cooking tips

Brining the apples in salt water before drying prevents discoloration and maintains a chewy texture without browning.
Adjust the amount of oligosaccharide syrup or sugar according to the natural sweetness of the apples.
Honey has high moisture content and shortens shelf life, so using oligosaccharide syrup or starch syrup is recommended.

Recommended for

Those looking for a chewy, sweet-salty side dish to accompany porridge or meat dishes.
