The dried apple is a piece of fruit dehydrated by natural heat, by exposing it to the sun, or artificially. It contains many nutritional properties such as iron, vitamin C and D concentrated when dehydrated. When dried, the dried apple retains all the nutrients and sugar of the fruit, however it is one of the fruits that contains the least sugar.

Like other nuts, they are not only eaten directly but are also the basis for sweet dishes, such as fruit salads, cakes and pies; savory, such as Christmas turkey, lamb with dried apricots, some meat casseroles and even in beverages.
