This snack consists of thinly sliced fruit, dehydrated to achieve a crisp texture, and seasoned with a blend of spices. The primary flavor components are derived from the fruit itself and the distinctive, warm notes of a common baking spice. The result is a portable, shelf-stable item that offers a sweet and spiced flavor profile.
