Hello there, foodies like me! 🙌 Are you ready to embark on a delicious journey with me? We’re diving into the wonderful world of dehydrating apples. 🍎👩‍🍳

🌟 Why Dehydrate Apples? Dehydrating apples is like capturing the essence of autumn in a snack.

It’s the perfect way to preserve your apple harvest or create a wholesome, portable treat. Plus, the result? Irresistibly crispy, sweet, and healthy apple chips! 🤤🍏

📝 Here’s my process on how to do it in an easy way:

1️⃣ First, choose your apples: Opt for firm, crisp apples like Granny Smith, Fuji, or Honeycrisp.

2️⃣ Wash and peel: Give your apples a good wash, peel them, and remove the cores and the seeds.

3️⃣ Slice ’em up: Use a sharp knife or if you have a mandoline slicer, use it to create uniform, thin slices. Pro tip: As the apples will easily turn brown, a sprinkle of lemon juice comes to the rescue.

4️⃣ Arrange on the dehydrator trays: Lay your apple slices on your dehydrator trays in a single layer. Make sure they don’t overlap.

5️⃣ Set the temperature: Dehydrate at around 135°F (57°C) for 6-12 hours. The time may vary depending on your dehydrator and the thickness of your slices.

6️⃣ Test for doneness: Your apples are ready when they’re dry to the touch and have a slight bend but no moisture.

7️⃣ Cool and store: Allow your apple chips to cool completely, then store them in an airtight container. They should last for several months!

🌈 Get Creative! Don’t stop at plain apple chips! Get creative with your flavors:

• Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar for a classic twist.(I used this!)
• Add a dash of chili powder for a sweet and spicy kick.
• Drizzle with honey for a sticky-sweet treat.
• Dip them in yogurt for a healthy snack attack!
