When you’re shopping for a sweet dried fruit snack with food allergies in mind, knowing where your food was processed is non-negotiable. Gerbs Cinnamon Sugar Apple Cubes are made in our family-owned, dedicated allergen-free facility in Johnston, Rhode Island.

These apple cubes are made from diced dried apples (Malus domestica) rolled in cane sugar and warm cinnamon, a combination that turns a familiar fruit into a dessert-caliber snack. The cinnamon amplifies the apple’s natural sweetness while adding a warm spiced note that makes these cubes especially popular in trail mixes, as an oatmeal stir-in, and as a standalone holiday-season snack. We’re upfront that added cane sugar is part of this product’s appeal; the sweetened coating is what makes them distinctively different from our plain dried apple slices.

Apple cubes are cut from whole apples before drying, giving them a chewier, denser bite than sliced varieties. The small cube format makes them easy to measure and mix into recipes without further chopping.

Cinnamon sugar apple cubes are diced dried apple pieces (Malus domestica) coated in a blend of cane sugar and ground cinnamon. The apple is cut into small, uniform cubes before dehydration, resulting in a bite-sized piece with a denser, chewier texture than sliced dried apple. The cinnamon-sugar coating transforms the clean fruit flavor into a warm, spiced confection reminiscent of apple pie or baked apple desserts. Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum or Cinnamomum cassia) is one of the world’s oldest traded spices, used for over 4,000 years across South and Southeast Asia. The pairing of cinnamon and apple is among the most enduring flavor combinations in Western baking tradition.

Dietary Fiber

Even in sweetened form, cinnamon sugar apple cubes retain meaningful dietary fiber, approximately 2-3g per 1 oz (28g) serving. The apple’s native pectin and insoluble fiber content persist through drying and the cinnamon-sugar coating. The Mayo Clinic notes that dietary fiber supports digestive health and promotes satiety as part of a balanced diet.

Apple Polyphenols

Apples (Malus domestica) are a recognized source of quercetin and other flavonoid polyphenols, particularly in the fruit skin. USDA FoodData Central confirms that dried apple products retain measurable polyphenol concentrations. These compounds contribute to the antioxidant capacity of the food.

Cinnamon’s Bioactive Compounds

Cinnamon (Cinnamomum species) contains cinnamaldehyde, cinnamic acid, and cinnamate, compounds recognized for their antioxidant activity. No medical claims are made here, cinnamon is included for flavor and as a recognized spice with a long history of use.

Natural Energy

Cinnamon sugar apple cubes provide readily available carbohydrate energy from both fruit sugars and added cane sugar, making them a practical sweet snack or recipe ingredient for those needing quick energy. The combination of natural fruit sugars and added cane sugar produces a more energy-dense product than plain dried apple.

Potassium

Apple-derived potassium is present in the cube form, approximately 120-150 mg per ounce, supporting normal electrolyte balance and fluid regulation. As with all foods, individual results may vary. Gerbs makes no medical claims.

Granola

Mix into granola for a warm, apple-pie-flavored component that adds sweetness, cinnamon spice, and textural interest. Add after baking (not during) to preserve the cinnamon-sugar coating. Pair with dried cranberries and raisins for a classically autumnal granola profile.

Layer cinnamon sugar apple cubes into yogurt parfaits between layers of plain or vanilla yogurt and granola. Their warm spiced sweetness elevates a simple parfait into something that tastes like dessert without the calorie load of actual apple pie.

Baking (Fold-In)
