DIY Dehydrated Apples



Ingredients:  
  • Apples
  • Dehydrator
  •  Lemon Juice
  • Ziploc Bag 
  •  Apple corer/slicer
  • Knife

Steps:
1.  Core Apples with Apple Corer.  I didn't peel mine because I read on another blog it gives it more flavor and after this experiment I agree. I don't actually usually like dehydrated apples but I like these with the peel still on.  And I'm all for less work.
2.  Slice Apples.  My apple corer creates 6 big slices of apple so I sliced each big slice into 3 little slices.
3.  Put apples in ziploc bag, squirt some lemon juice in and shake.  You could also lay them out and spray them with lemon juice from a spray bottle, but I couldn't find mine.  And the ziploc bag worked just great.  I used probably about 1/4 cup or less.  It didn't take that much.
4.  Layer apples on dehydrator trays and set it to go!  This is the dehydrator I have and so far it has been great.






Steps 1-4 seriously took me about 20 minutes.  It was super easy and quick.  I sliced 4 apples up and it made 1 quart size baggie of dried apples.
