Apple Chips Recipe
With this farm-stand fresh Apple Chips Recipe, you'll be greeted with a sweet kiss of cinnamon sugar with each and every chewy soft bite. Just 4 ingredients and some simple prep... and your apples will be ready to dehydrate!
Servings: 24
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Apples I used 6 Small Gala Apples
- 3 cups Water
- 1/2 cup Lemon Juice
- 1/3 cup Granulated (White) Sugar
- 1.5 tsp. Ground Cinnamon
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients.
- In small mixing bowl, mix together Cinnamon and Sugar until well combined, then set aside.
- Use your 'Johnny Apple Peeler' to peel and thin slice your apples. It’s the best shortcut ever!
- Then slice your peeled and thinly sliced apples in half with a knife. Now you’ve got your peeled and sliced apple pieces ready to go!
- Soak your Apple Slices for 5 minutes in a large bowl filled with 1/2 cup Lemon Juice and 3 cups water mixture (to avoid browning of apple). Then pat dry apple slices before placing in dehydrator.
- Lay your Apple Slices on the dehydrator trays with plenty of space around each one for air circulation.
- Place smaller Apple Slices on the bottom trays and larger Apple Slices on the tops trays to ensure even drying.
- Generously sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar mixture on Apple Slices. (I like to pour mine in an empty salt or pepper shaker to sprinkle it on.)
- Set your dehydrator to 135 - 145 degrees and cook for 6 hours for chewy or 7 hours for crunchier Apple Chips.
Notes
- High Humidity Drying Tip: Add extra drying time if you are preparing this dehydrator apple chips recipe in a humid climate.
- How To Store: Your chewy, soft dried apple chips will last for up to 1 month when stored in an airtight container at room temperature. I recommend storing your dehydrated apple chips, is in an airtight Ziploc Bag, a Rubbermaid Storage Container or in a Wide Mouth Mason Jar.
