Apples (cinnamon, fuji, granny smith)
Wholesale supply for Apples (cinnamon, fuji, granny smith) with consistent specs, food safety documentation, and flexible formats for USA & Canada buyers. Choose from variety-specific apple options (Fuji or Granny Smith) and cinnamon-seasoned formats to match your flavor target and finished product performance.
What are these apple options used for?
Freeze-dried apples are used for crisp texture, clean-label fruit identity, and convenient handling in dry systems. Variety selection (Fuji vs Granny Smith) and cinnamon-seasoned options help manufacturers dial in the exact taste profile needed for cereals, granola, snack mixes, bars, bakery toppings, and drink premixes.
Fuji is typically selected for a sweeter apple note. Granny Smith is often selected when a brighter tart note is preferred. Cinnamon-seasoned options can provide an “apple pie” profile without adding separate cinnamon in your blend (program-dependent).

Variety & flavor profiles
Variety selection helps you tune the finished product flavor. If you’re matching an existing product or benchmark, include a reference (taste description or sample notes) in your request.
Fuji (sweet-forward)
- Often chosen for a sweeter apple perception
- Works well in granola, snack mixes, and dessert-like profiles
- Pairs well with vanilla, caramel notes, and warm spices
Best when you want a round, sweet apple note.
Granny Smith (tart-forward)
- Often chosen for a brighter, tart apple perception
- Balances sweet systems (honey, chocolate, yogurt flavors)
- Common in “crisp” and “fresh apple” profile targets
Best when you need a crisp, tangy apple note.
Cinnamon-seasoned options
- “Apple pie” style profile without separate cinnamon dosing
- Useful for cereals, oatmeal blends, and bakery toppings
- Confirm labeling constraints and cinnamon intensity targets
Best when you want a ready-to-use spiced apple inclusion (program-dependent).
Formats & processing
Freeze-dried apple formats are selected based on appearance, distribution, and processing method. Custom cuts and sieve ranges may be available depending on program and volume.
Slices
- Strong visual identity and premium look
- Popular for cereals, granola clusters, and toppings
- Can be more fragile—handling steps matter
Best for “see the fruit” applications.
Dices / pieces
- More uniform distribution than slices
- Good for bars, snack mixes, and bakery inclusions
- Often chosen to reduce breakage vs slices
Best for controlled distribution and consistent bite.
Granules / powder
- Granules improve blend uniformity in dry mixes
- Powder supports uniform apple flavor and easy dosing
- Defined sieve ranges can reduce specking or improve dispersion
Best for premixes, seasonings, and flavor bases.
Typical specifications (guidance)
Specifications vary by program and format. Below are common categories used to align procurement and QA expectations. Request current COA/spec targets for your quoted option.
| Spec category | What it controls | What to tell us |
|---|---|---|
| Variety / seasoning | Flavor profile (sweet vs tart) and spice notes. | Fuji vs Granny Smith vs cinnamon-seasoned; target taste balance. |
| Format / particle size | Appearance, distribution, and texture. | Slices/dices/granules/powder; target cut size or sieve range; dust tolerance. |
| Moisture / water activity | Crispness retention and shelf stability in low-moisture systems. | Your product water activity target and packaging type. |
| Color / visual standards | Batch consistency and finished product appearance. | Any light color requirement; visibility in final product. |
| Foreign material control | Risk reduction for manufacturing and QA. | Your internal standards (sieving, metal detection, inspections). |
| Micro targets (as applicable) | Food safety alignment for your category and customer requirements. | Any required micro limits and documentation needs. |
| Certifications | Label claims and customer acceptance. | Organic/kosher needs; any additional claims where available. |
Applications & performance notes
Freeze-dried apple formats can be used across cereals, bars, bakery, and premixes. The best format depends on the process and the desired consumer experience.

Tell us if inclusions are mixed post-bake and how packaging protects crunch.
Bars & clusters
- Dices/granules for uniform distribution
- Fuji for sweeter note; Granny Smith for tart balance
- Powder can add apple note throughout the base
Share binder system and mixing intensity to help reduce breakage/dust.
Bakery & toppings
- Cinnamon options for bakery-style flavor
- Powder for consistent apple note in mixes
- Granules for controlled distribution in dry blends
Tell us if apples are baked into dough or used as topping after bake.
Snack mixes
- Slices for standout inclusions

Share your target inclusion percentage and packaging format.
Premixes & drink blends
- Powder for uniform flavor and dosing

- Granules for textured blends
Tell us if you mix in cold water, dairy, or alt-dairy and your texture goal.
Packaging, storage & shelf life
Freeze-dried fruit is sensitive to humidity. Proper packaging and storage help preserve crisp texture and reduce clumping.
Packaging options (typical)
- Food-grade bags in corrugated cartons
- Bulk cases with inner liners (format-dependent)
- Palletized shipments for manufacturing
- Private label support (program-dependent)
Tell us your preferred case weight and receiving constraints.
Storage best practices
- Store sealed, cool, and dry; avoid temperature swings
- Reseal quickly after opening to limit humidity exposure
- Use FIFO rotation with lot tracking
- Protect from crushing to reduce breakage (especially slices)
If you operate in humid climates, ask about packaging upgrades for moisture protection.

FAQ
Do you have minimum order quantities (MOQs)?
MOQs depend on the ingredient and format. Share your preferred format (slices/dices/granules/powder and whether cinnamon-seasoned), target volume, and delivery region (USA/Canada), and we’ll reply with options.
What’s the difference between Fuji and Granny Smith options?
Fuji is typically selected for a sweeter apple note, while Granny Smith is often selected for a brighter tart note. If you have a target flavor profile (or a benchmark), share it so we can recommend the best match.
Can you supply cinnamon-seasoned apple inclusions?
Depending on program, cinnamon-seasoned options may be available. Share your target cinnamon intensity, labeling constraints, and application (cereal, granola, bakery topping) and we’ll confirm availability.
Which format is best for cereal and granola?
Slices provide a premium look but can be more fragile. Dices often distribute more evenly and reduce breakage. Share your process (pre-bake vs post-bake addition) and packaging type for best matching.
Do you provide samples?
Sampling may be available depending on format and program. Include your company name, application, and target specs in your request.
What documents can you provide for freeze-dried apples?
Documentation may include COA, specification sheet, allergen statement, country of origin details, and lot/traceability information. Availability can vary by origin and processing format.
