Storage Tips
Dried apples should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place. Proper storage can extend their shelf life to several months. Avoid storing them in humid environments, as moisture can lead to spoilage. For longer-term storage, consider freezing dried apples in a freezer-safe bag or container. Before using frozen dried apples, allow them to thaw slightly at room temperature.
