Ingredients
- Apples
To Prevent Browning
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 cup cold water
Optional Spice Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp maple sugar
- ½ tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Wash and dry apples. Remove the core and slice into ⅛ to ¼ inch slices or rings. Peel the apples if desired.
- Optional: To prevent apples from browning, soak the slices in a mixture of lemon juice and water for about 5 minutes. Remove and dry thoroughly.
- If Using Spices: Mix the maple sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Add apple slices to a large bowl and gently toss with the spices. Use as little or as much of the spices as you like.
- Arrange sliced apples evenly on dehydrator trays. It's ok if they touch slightly. (If desired, sprinkle on a bit of cinnamon at this time; otherwise, just leave them plain.)
- Dehydrate apples at 135 to 145º Fahrenheit for 6 to 12 hours or until the slices snap easily and contain no moisture. Allow them to cool to room temperature, then store in airtight containers.
