What if a snack that tastes sinfully sugary-sweet could be good for you too?
Stemilt Growers’ new line of sliced apples called AppleSweets™ is all that and more – a snack for consumers looking for something that’s nutritious yet satisfies that sweet-snack craving.
Stemilt Marketing Director Roger Pepperl said fresh-cut, packaged apples have been around for a few years, but AppleSweets™ are unique because they include flavored slices that taste like a caramel-rich candy or a wild berry lollipop.
“The flavored slices are made from all-natural ingredients that don’t add calories or fat to the apples,” Pepperl said. “AppleSweets help you curb your hunger for rich, sweet snacks and desserts, but you can eat all you want and still feel good about snacking.”
The two flavors now available are County Fair Caramel and Wild Berry. Pepperl said other flavors will be rolled out in the future, with likely selections such as Tropical and Mom’s Apple Pie available from the AppleSweets™ family of products.
Unflavored slices are also part of the line, with Tart AppleSweets™ and Sweet AppleSweets™ available.
