Sephra Freeze Dried Apple 1kg

Sephra Freeze-Dried Apple Pieces

Sephra Freeze-Dried Apple is a crisp, ready-to-use fruit ingredient made from 100% apple. The fruit is harvested at optimum ripeness, inspected, frozen and freeze-dried to create predominantly 10mm diced pieces with a natural apple flavour and pale yellow to white colour. Suitable for bakeries, chocolatiers, cafés, dessert businesses and professional kitchens, it provides a practical alternative to preparing fresh apple while offering reliable portioning and convenient ambient storage.

100% Apple with No Added Ingredients

The product contains only apple, with no added sugar, preservatives, colours, flavourings or other additives. Freeze-drying removes the majority of the fruit’s moisture while retaining its recognisable flavour, colour and structure.

The finished pieces have a light, crisp texture rather than the softness of fresh or conventionally dried apple. This makes them particularly useful in applications where a dry fruit inclusion, decorative finish or contrasting texture is required.

Consistent Diced Pieces for Commercial Use

The fruit consists predominantly of approximately 10mm diced pieces, making it easy to weigh, portion and distribute across finished products. The prepared format reduces the time spent washing, peeling, coring and chopping fresh apples, while also removing concerns about cut fruit browning during preparation.

Use the pieces whole when a visible apple inclusion is required, or crush them into smaller fragments for finer decoration and more even distribution. As this is a natural fruit product, some variation in shape, size and colour may occur, along with occasional skins, splits and smaller pieces.

Use Whole, Crushed or Rehydrated

Use the apple directly from the pack as a crisp topping or dry inclusion. The pieces can be added to chocolate bars, chocolate bark, biscuits, granola, cereal mixes and other low-moisture products. They can also be used to finish cakes, cupcakes, porridge, ice cream and plated desserts.

For a finer texture, crush or process the pieces into an apple powder. The powder can be mixed into buttercream, icing, glazes, meringues or dry mixes to add natural apple flavour without introducing the same level of moisture as fresh fruit. When adding powder to a recipe, test the quantity carefully as it may affect the balance and consistency of the mixture.

For fillings, sauces and compotes, the pieces can be rehydrated in water before use. Cold water will help the fruit retain more of its shape, while warmer water is suitable when a softer texture is preferred. The time required will depend on the piece size and the final result needed.

Suitable for Chocolate, Bakery and Dessert Menus

Freeze-dried apple works well with milk, dark and white chocolate and can be used in bars, bark, clusters and decorated confectionery. It also pairs naturally with caramel, cinnamon, vanilla, ginger, maple and biscuit flavours, making it suitable for both everyday products and seasonal menu lines.

The dry format is also useful for granola, cereal blends, biscuits and dessert toppings. When used with wet ingredients such as yoghurt, cream, sauce or buttercream, the fruit will gradually absorb moisture and soften. Add it shortly before serving where retaining the crisp texture is important.
