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.
- Wash and remove the stems from the apples.
- 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.)
- 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.)
- Arrange apple slices evenly on the dehydrator trays.
- Mix 1 part coconut sugar with 1 part ground cinnamon and sprinkle over the apples.
- 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.
