Novel products were prepared from apple fruits by using osmotic dehydration. In the present study osmo-dried apple pops and rings were developed from ‘Golden delicious’ apples and further utilized for the development of novel products viz. apple choco shots and apple pie. The technology for osmo-dried apple pops with diameter of 28 mm and apple rings with thickness of 0.5 cm, followed by dipping in sugar syrup and honey for four hours at 50oC was optimized. Honey osmo-dried apple pops and rings were found better in terms of quality and sensory characteristics and having less water activity. Further, the novel products were prepared from osmo-dried apple pops and rings i.e. apple choco shots and apple pie. Honey being rich in phenols and flavonoids result in better antioxidant activity with excellent energy value of the developed products. The apple choco shots and apple pie prepared from honey osmo-dried pops and rings were found better in quality with energy value of 430.09 Kcal/100g and 260.74 Kcal/100g respectively. Thus, the developed technology can be commercially explored at industry level for the production of quality osmo-dried apple pops, apple rings, apple choco shots and apple pie.
