My new toy right now is a spiralizer, so I’ve pretty much been spiralizing everything in sight.
Following my spiral theme, I made these fresh, fun Spiralized Apple Tartlets. These little tartlets are simple, raw, and fall-inspired, with apples and cinnamon inside and out . The crust is a sticky-sweet combination of dates and dried apples, with a, fuji-noodle filling and even more cinnamon. It’s fall now, so I don’t feel bad about going a little cinnamon crazy.
No spiralizer? If you don’t have a spiralizer, don’t quit reading. Believe it or not, apples, cinnamon, and coconut sugar still taste phenomenal together even if the apples aren’t shaped like spaghetti. Just dice them up and go along with me.
Juicify [jew-suh-fie] v. To add sugar to fruit and allow it to rest until the fruit releases sugars and everything melds together and gets all juicy and sweet and tender and enticing and…mmm
I think Mr. Webster should consider it 🙂
In this recipe, I let the apples juicify overnight. After a night of sugar-coated chilling, the apples were as soft and sweet as cooked apples, but with a fresher more balanced flavor. Fall perfection!

Those look yummy! Interesting technique with the "juicifying" too!
Haha I think its similar to "macerating", but juicifying is a more accurate description in my opinion 🙂
Hi Natalie, what kind of apples are those in the pictures?
thanks,
Erika
Those are Fuji apples if I remember correctly 🙂 One of my favorite kinds! Hope that helps Erika!
Thank you!
How do get dried apple slices? Can these be made at home?
★★★★
You can buy them already dried usually, not too hard to find depending on where you live. The only way to make them at home is in a dehydrator?
Hi there, these look delicious! How well do they store? Can they last a few days?
They don’t store super well since there is so much moisture in the apples. Best assembled and eaten on the same day!
