For those who are new to dehydrating foods, here's an easy recipe.
Dehydrated Apple Rings
The guests of honor!
 Here they are skinned and gutted. They're resting in a nice bath of cold water with a couple of Tablespoons of Lemon Juice to keep them from browning.
 Sliced 3/8" thick, and back in the water while I do other things.
 Here they've been well drained, sprinkled with a little cinnamon sugar, and placed on the dehydrator tray.
 Ten hours later they're out of the dehydrator! Those six apples will now fit into a one quart ziplock bag and need no refridgeration.
 Variations
Rather than cinnamon sugar, try experimenting with different flavors of regular or sugarfree Jello to give them different flavors!

Oh lord those are beautiful! Were those Gala's? They looked like them and those are some delicious apples. We got a new dehydrator about a month or so back, and this will be our next drying for sure! Thanks for the post Diya, we're so into dehydrating herbs and chili peppers we'd forgotten to look up at the horizon.....and apple season is just coming in, too. I do know one thing....I'm going to give at least one set of rings a spicey treatment of dried chili powder mixed with a touch of brown sugar.  ------------- |

i agree - it looks like the perfect thing for this time of year, and i can imagine a dozen uses for them - from simple snacking to several german and "american pioneer" dishes and even for pie! ------------- If you are a visitor and like what you see, please http://foodsoftheworld.activeboards.net/registration_rules.asp?FID=0" rel="nofollow - click here and join the discussions in our community! |

Rivet,
Those apples were a newer variety called "September Wonder". They grow almost twice the size of a Gala or Macintosh and are very dense and crispy like a Fuji, not at all mealy like some of the yellow varieties.
As long as we're on the subject of dehydrating fruits I might as well mention that I've had good luck doing pears also.
Another fruit I've been drying is bananas. Ripe, but no spots. Slice them and dust them with a product from Ball Canning Company called "Fruit Fresh" to keep them from browning. Then either dry them as is, or dust them with strawberry or lime Jello and dehydrate them.

nice - I sometimes use them by chucking them into my spiced rum when it's aging... all other times they're great trail food.
------------- kai time! |
