Premium Washington State Apples.
Cut, Frozen & Tailored for Your Brand.
Ever Fresh Fruit Co. is a first-transformation apple processor specializing in fresh-cut and IQF products for commercial bakeries, ice cream manufacturers, dairy producers, craft beverage makers, and food service operations. Six premium cultivars. Year-round supply. SQF Level 2 certified.
Who We Serve
Whatever you make, we supply the apple ingredient that makes it better. We work with manufacturers and operators across five major channels — each with tailored cut styles, varieties, and pack sizes designed for your specific application.
Commercial & Industrial Bakery
Pies, turnovers, strudels, muffins, and fillings. Our IQF slices and two-cut pieces hold their shape through commercial baking cycles, delivering the texture and fruit visibility your customers expect. Granny Smith for classic tart fillings. Cosmic Crisp for premium, named-variety positioning. Available in 40 lb and 50 lb cases for high-volume production lines.
Ice Cream & Frozen Desserts
Apple dices and chunks that stay firm through churning, freezing, and months of cold storage. IQF processing preserves the crisp bite and clean flavor that premium ice cream brands demand. Ideal for caramel apple, apple pie, and cinnamon apple flavor profiles — the bakery-inspired inclusions driving frozen dessert innovation.
Yogurt & Cultured Dairy
Small-dice IQF apple for fruit-on-bottom, blended, and layered yogurt formats. Clean-label compatible with minimal treatment options. USDA Organic available on select varieties. Consistent piece size and flavor batch to batch — the reliability your production line depends on.
Beverages & Hard Cider
Named-variety Washington State apples for craft cider, juice, and specialty beverages. Varietal traceability from orchard to processor. Cosmic Crisp, Honeycrisp, and Granny Smith available for single-variety and blended programs. The provenance story your brand can tell.
Food Service & Specialty Retail
Fresh-cut slices and dices with a 96-hour shelf life for food service plating, prepared salads, catering trays, and specialty retail. Presentation-quality cuts in 25 lb boxes. Custom antioxidant treatments to maintain color and crunch through your service window.
Apple Varieties
Not all apples are created equal — and the variety you choose shapes the flavor, texture, and performance of your finished product. We process six premium Washington State cultivars, each selected for specific processing strengths and application fit. Every variety is available in fresh-cut and IQF formats.
Granny Smith
The Bakery Standard
Tart, crisp, and firm with bright green color and superior browning resistance. Granny Smith is the default choice for commercial pie fillings, turnovers, and any baked application where structural integrity matters. Its tartness balances sugar in fillings and its firm flesh holds shape through freeze-thaw and baking cycles. Year-round availability makes it the volume workhorse of our processing line.
Honeycrisp
The premium crowd-pleaser
Sweet, explosively crisp, and juicy with distinctive golden-red striping. Honeycrisp is America's most recognized premium apple variety and its name on an ingredient list signals quality to consumers. Its balanced sweetness and exceptional crunch make it ideal for fresh-cut applications and premium frozen dessert inclusions where flavor and texture are the selling point.
Cosmic Crisp
The next-generation performer
Developed by Washington State University and grown exclusively in Washington, Cosmic Crisp offers exceptional texture retention and remarkably slow browning after cutting. Its balanced sweet-tart flavor profile performs across bakery, ice cream, and beverage applications. Already specified by name in craft cider and premium product launches, Cosmic Crisp carries consumer brand recognition that transfers to your finished product.
Fuji
The stability specialist
Sweet with balancing acidity, Fuji's firm, dense flesh delivers excellent stability through IQF processing and extended frozen storage. Its consistent texture and mild sweetness make it a reliable choice for applications where the apple ingredient needs to perform predictably across large production runs.
Gala
The fresh-cut favorite
Sweet, mellow, and crisp with attractive golden-red skin. Gala's mild flavor profile and appealing appearance make it the top choice for fresh-cut applications where visual presentation and consistent eating quality matter most. Its crisp texture holds up well for food service plating and prepared items.
Cripps Pink (Pink Lady)
The visual standout
A tart-sweet balance with firm, crisp flesh and a distinctive pink-red blush that adds visual impact to any product. Cripps Pink is the specialty choice for applications where apple appearance is part of the value proposition—visible fruit pieces in yogurt, colorful garnishes, and premium presentations where the blush color tells the quality story.
Products and Processing Capabilities
Every product begins with premium Washington State apples and ends with a package tailored to your production needs. We offer four cut styles across two formats — fresh and IQF — in pack sizes from 25 lb boxes to bulk totes. Custom cuts, treatments, and private label packaging are available on every run.
Slices
3/8" to 7/8" heel widths
The classic bakery cut for pies, tarts, and food service plating. Clean edges and uniform thickness ensure even baking and professional presentation. Also ideal for dried apple products.
Dices
Available in 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", and 3/4" cubes
The most versatile format for ice cream inclusions, bakery fillings, muffins, compotes, and yogurt applications. Choose your cube size based on your application — smaller dices for blended products, larger for visible fruit pieces.
Two-Cut
3/8" x 3/8" standard
A bakery-specific cut designed for fillings and toppings that need consistent piece size without the uniformity of a full dice. Excellent for food service side dishes and prepared items where a more natural, hand-cut appearance is desired.
Chunks
1" to 2" irregular pieces
Rustic, generous apple pieces for coarse fillings, artisanal baked goods, and salad applications where larger, more natural-looking fruit is the goal. Perfect for premium and farmhouse-style positioning.

Small food service, specialty retail
30 lb Case (IQF)
Food service, commercial bakery
40 lb Case/Bag (IQF)

We built our operation around flexibility. Custom cuts, custom treatment formulations, private label packaging, and co-packing are available on every production run. If your product requires a specification we haven’t listed, call us — we’ll work with you to develop it.
Fresh
96-hour shelf life in coated carton cases or poly bags. Ideal for food service, specialty retail, and applications where fresh texture and appearance matter.
IQF (Individually Quick Frozen)
24-month frozen shelf life. The standard for commercial bakery, ice cream, dairy, and any high-volume production requiring consistent year-round supply. Individual pieces flow freely from the bag — no clumping, no thaw-and-refreeze degradation.

Key Differentiators
Why Apple, Why Now
Apple is having a moment. Across bakery, ice cream, yogurt, and craft beverages, apple is emerging as a premium flavor signal that resonates with the trends shaping the food industry today.
The Comfort & Nostalgia Wave
Apple pie is arguably the most iconic comfort flavor in American food. With consumer research showing that a strong majority of Americans prefer comfort over gourmet meals, and social media posts linking simple, cozy flavors to premium experiences growing rapidly, apple is positioned at the intersection of nostalgia and premiumization. For product developers, apple delivers emotional resonance that few other fruit flavors can match.
Bakery-Inspired Innovation
Flavors like caramel apple pie, apple cinnamon crumble, and spiced apple are driving innovation in ice cream, yogurt, snack bars, and functional foods. Apple’s versatility as a flavor platform — pairing naturally with cinnamon, caramel, maple, and brown sugar — gives product developers a wide canvas for seasonal and year-round launches.
Named-Variety Premiumization
Consumers increasingly recognize apple varieties by name. Honeycrisp commands premium pricing at retail. Cosmic Crisp is building brand awareness as a next-generation variety with superior performance characteristics. When you put a named variety on your ingredient list or product label, you’re telling a quality story that generic “apple” cannot.
Clean-Label & IQF Growth
The global IQF fruit market is growing at over 7% annually, driven by demand for minimally processed, clean-label ingredients that perform in commercial production environments. IQF apple delivers on every dimension: natural ingredient lists, consistent quality, extended shelf life, and production-ready convenience.
