What K'Apples are and why they stay soft
K'Apples are soft-baked apple snacks made with apple purée and egg whites, rather than whole pieces of dried apple. Their purée-based form gives them a soft, yielding bite that sets them apart from chewy dried fruit and crisp apple slices.
Our K'Extra gives you trimmed pieces from the sides of K'Apples cake, in a 100 g size with an assortment of tastes, from CHF 7.50. Those pieces suit readers curious about the snack’s soft-baked form and varied fruit flavours.
Dried fruit becomes denser and chewier as water is removed. Fruit leather starts with purée too, but makers spread it into a thin layer and dry it into a sheet, while K'Apples are presented as a soft-baked snack with a different form and texture.
Egg whites contain proteins that set when heated and can help give a baked mixture structure. Together, the purée base and soft-baked format explain the snack’s difference from dried fruit and fruit leather.
| Snack type | Typical form | Texture to expect |
|---|---|---|
| K'Apples | Soft-baked apple-purée snack | Soft and tender |
| Dried fruit | Whole or cut fruit with water removed | Denser and chewier |
| Fruit leather | Purée spread and dried into a sheet | Thin and pliable |
Ingredients, gluten-free claims and naturally occurring sugars
The K'Apples range is described as following an apples-and-egg-whites ingredient philosophy, and as gluten-free with no added sugar.
No added sugar does not mean sugar-free. Apples naturally contain sugars, and those sugars remain in apple-based snacks even when no sugar is added.
Some flavours include additional fruit or other ingredients, so the ingredient list can vary by flavour. If you’re comparing dietary suitability, read the ingredients and nutrition panel for the particular variety you’re considering.
Gluten-free also does not mean allergen-free. Egg whites are an important ingredient to consider for anyone with an egg allergy, and added flavour ingredients may affect suitability for other dietary needs.
What the Swiss connection means
K'Apples are described as Swiss-made and made with locally sourced apples. These terms refer to different things: Swiss-made identifies where a product is made, while local sourcing describes the stated origin of its apples.
We try to use local ingredients, including locally sourced apples.
How to explore the flavour range
Start with the familiar pairing of apple and cinnamon if you enjoy warm spice alongside fruit. For a more fruit-forward taste, compare options such as raspberry, strawberry, blueberry and black currant; flavour combinations can have different ingredients, too.

K'Apples are a soft fruit snack, not conventional dried-fruit pieces. Choose them when you want a tender texture; choose dried fruit when you prefer a denser, chewier bite.

Keeping the texture fresh after opening
Reseal the package promptly after serving and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Limiting exposure to air, heat and moisture helps protect the snack’s texture.
Use clean, dry hands or utensils when taking a portion so moisture and crumbs are less likely to affect what remains. Discard the snack if you see mould, notice an unusual smell or find a marked change in texture.
