1 ounce freeze-dried apples (about 1 1/3 cups, although volume will vary by brand; 30g); see note

7 ounces plain or toasted sugar (about 1 cup; 200g), or more to taste

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, or more to taste

1/4 teaspoon fennel pollen, such as Pollen Ranch fennel pollen (optional)

1/8 teaspoon (1/2g) Diamond Crystal kosher salt, or more to taste; for table salt, use about half as much by volume or the same weight

Steps

In the bowl of a food processor, grind freeze-dried apples into a fine powder, with no visible bits of fruit remaining. Add sugar, cinnamon, fennel pollen (if using), and salt and pulse until well combined. If you like, continue grinding to create a finer, less granular powder.

Season mixture to taste with additional salt or spice, or add more sugar to dilute the intensity of the apples if you find their flavor too strong. Use immediately or store in an airtight container. Due to the presence of freeze-dried fruit, this mixture is very hygroscopic and will readily absorb moisture from the air, causing it to clump over time.
