Granola Bars

• Granola bars are an ideal snack, especially when you are venturing outdoors. They are light and full of energizing nutrients. Making your own granola bars is a relatively simple process that lends itself well to the utilization of dried apples. The apples are usually accompanied by brown sugar, margarine, applesauce, egg, flour, granola, baking soda and allspice. The ingredients are mixed together and then baked in an oven.
  
  

Pie

• Apple pie is an American classic comfort food. Though it is usually made with fresh apples, dried apples can be substituted with a few other modifications. You will need to pour boiling water over the dried apples to let them rehydrate for 3 to 4 hours. Cinnamon and nutmeg are then mixed into the apples, which are placed onto pastry in a pie dish. The apples are then covered with an additional piece of pastry before the entire dish is baked.
  
  

Trail Mix

• Much like dried apples, trail mix is an easy-to-carry, highly nutritional snack. Various trail mix recipes are available, but most contain dried fruit, nuts and, occasionally, pieces of chocolate. The snack also takes a long time to expire, which is a common reason for apples to be dried. Once you begin developing your signature trail mix, you might add other dried fruit, such as bananas and apricots.
  
  

Muffins

• Almost any ingredient can be added to create a specialized muffin. Add dried apples directly into the batter and bake for a unique take on your muffin recipe. Adding dried apples will increase the nutritional value of the muffins, while providing a kick that will brighten their flavor. Dried-apple muffins are generally made with applesauce, milk, vegetable oil, eggs, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
