AppleSweets - How We Do It

Direct from the Orchard
AppleSweets® sliced apples are made from fresh apples that come direct from Stemilt’s eastern Washington orchards. As a premium tree-fruit grower with nearly a century of apple growing expertise under our belts, Stemilt makes sure each slice starts with the right apple.  The result?  Our sliced apples can stay crisp, juicy and bright-white for up to three weeks.

Innovation
Some of the latest and greatest technologies are used to make AppleSweets. Stemilt’s Precision Apple Slicing System (P.A.S.S.) cuts each apple with the precision of a robotic surgical knife. While other systems severely damage the apple’s cell structure during slicing, the accuracy of P.A.S.S. keeps the cell structure intact.

Every apple slice is bathed in Nature Seal™, an all-natural, FDA-approved, calcium/mineral solution, which adds vitamin-C to the fruit while keeping slices white. Nature Seal is a well-known solution used on many fruits and vegetables to extend product freshness.
