Product Description:
Peeled snack’s Apple-2-the-core are one of our favorite healthy snacks to eat on the go. Stash a bag in your purse or car for healthy snacking at any time. These dried apples are organic, gently dried and all natural- no sugar added.
I received a pouch of these snacks in my January Box from Knoshy.
Tea Suggestion:
I think that these tasty pieces of dried apple would taste good with just about any tea, but I wanted to choose a pure tea so that the flavoring wouldn’t compete with the flavor of the apple. I chose this Hoji Cha Gold from Kyoto Obubu Tea Plantation, and I loved how the nutty, sweet flavor of the tea complemented the sweet flavor of the apple. A really nice pairing!
What I Think:
After having tried the Pine-4-Pineapple from Peeled Snacks, I was fairly certain I’d enjoy this dried apple snack from Peeled Snacks. And I do!
The apple has been sliced and they’re fairly thick slices so I get lots of apple-y flavor in every bite. These aren’t like the crisped apple chips that you can find in just about any grocery store these days (I like those too though!) These are softer and chewier, and the way these have been crafted allow for a lot of true-to-the-fruit flavor.
That is to say that this tastes like apple. It doesn’t taste like sugar. It doesn’t taste like cinnamon or caramel or anything else (not that there’s anything wrong with cinnamon or caramel … love ’em!) These snacks have one ingredient:
Organic Apples.
Nice ingredient list!
My Final Thoughts:
I really like these dried apples. I love the texture: soft and chewy! I love the sweet taste, and there’s just a hint of tartness to them too. I love how the drying process has concentrated the flavor of the apple so I’m just getting APPLE in every single bite. There’s only one thing I don’t like about these snacks … I don’t like that the pouch is now gone.
