Dehydrated Apples

Its the Simple Things
Dehydrated apples are a healthy and delicious snack option. Dried apple slices are so easy to make in a dehydrator, the oven, or even sun dried. I use an peeler, corer to make it an even faster job as you'll see below. Dried apples are great snacks to take on the go or apple chips to add in lunches. The natural fruit sugars are concentrated along with the flavor creating a sweet treat!

Equipment

  • 1 dehydrator
  • 1 Apple peeler/corer

Ingredients
  

  • 6 lb Fuji apples
  • cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Wash the apples before you begin and your dehydrator trays if its been stored a while so the trays can dry while you prepare.
  • Next I get my Apple peeler/corer set up and ready to go.
  • One after another peel and core every apple in the bag
  • Cut the spiraled apples in half and place them in a bag or a bowl
  • Sprinkle the cinnamon on and add as much or little as you want coating them well.
  • Next start laying the apple slices on the dehydrator trays making sure to not touch them together so they dry completely
  • Then stack all of the trays back on the dehydrator and turn it on at 135℉ for up to 10 hours depending on the thickness of your slices.
  • When they are at your desired crispness turn off the dehydrator and let them cool for about 10 minutes. Remove them from the tray to finish cooling completely. I find it harder to remove them nicely if they are complete dry.
  • Once cooled you can store them in a sealed container on the counter for up to 3 months or freeze for up to a year. If setting them out on the counter I would check them at least once a month for moisture but mine are typically eaten within the week.
