Cinnamon Coconut Sugar Apple Chips


I've been experimenting with my new dehydrator with varying degrees of success.  Most of what I've read online talks about how it's a trial and error process and after a few different batches we've settled on these as our favorite for apple chips. 

Normally when drying fruits I have been using a thicker setting on my mandolin, but when going for a "chip" type result the thinner the better.  

All you need to make these tasty little treats are: green tart apples, coconut sugar, and ground cinnamon, and lemon juice.

  1. Wash and remove the stems from the apples.
  2. Slice on a mandolin set to the thinnest setting or slice as thinly and evenly as possible if by hand.  (No need to remove the core but make sure all seeds are removed.)
  3. As the apples are sliced, place them in a bowl with two cups of water and 1 Tbs lemon juice.  Make sure all apples are tossed in the lemon juice water.  (This prevents browning.)
  4. Arrange apple slices evenly on the dehydrator trays.
  5. Mix 1 part coconut sugar with 1 part ground cinnamon and sprinkle over the apples.
  6. Set dehydrator for 135 degrees and dehydrate for 4-6 hours.  If in a hurry set to 165 degrees and they will be done closer to the 4 hour mark.
