Servings: 20
Ingredients
- 10 Apples
- 3 Lemons
- 3 Tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
Instructions
Apple Preparation
- Make sure to have a clean surface to work on. You can spray it with vinegar to avoid any bacteria clinging on to the fruit.
- Add Apple Cider Vinegar and Lemon Juice into a bowl and set aside for your Apple Slices later.
- Rinse your Apples.
- Slice the Apples as thinly as you can.
- Add the Apple Slices to your Vinegar / Lemon Juice mix, and turn them around gently so them all get coated. This will help the Apples not to turn brown, and adds tang to the final dried Apple Crisps too.
- Add cinnamon in and coat them as you turn them around in the bowl.
Dehydration
- Add the Apple Slices to your Dehydrator Trays (see picture above).
- Set temperature to approx. 60 degrees and walk away.
- After approx. 2 hours place the bottom tray on the top, and flip them all around so you get an even drying process going. You can keep doing this every hour or so.
- After 5 hours you should have dried, crispy apples that 'snap' when you break them. If they are still bit soft, and that is how you like them - great! BUT - otherwise continue the dehydration process for another hour and check again.
Notes
The dehydration time depends on the make of your Dehydrator - normally it takes about 5 hours, but can take as long as 8. In that case you can always leave the machine overnight on the lowest temp setting. The end is worth the wait though! These Apple Crisps have become a kids snack favourite, as well as grown-ups after dinner treat with blue cheese - or dark chocolate. Enjoy!
