Ingredients
- 4–6 large Gala or Fuji apples, cleaned and dried
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Cold water to coat the apples
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1–2 drops of cinnamon oil
Instructions
- Assemble the Brod & Taylor® Sahara Folding Dehydrator.
- In a large bowl add the lemon juice and cold water, gently stir. Clean the apples and remove the stem. Using a Mandoline or sharp knife, slice the apples about 1/4-1/3″ thick. Place the sliced apples into the lemon water. Gently stir to ensure that all of the slices are coated with the lemon water. Soak for a 30 seconds to a minute.
- Drain the apples completely. If making cinnamon apples, place the drained apples back in the bowl, add in the cinnamon oil and ground cinnamon. Gently mix to combine.
- On each rack add a single layer of apples. Once all of the apple slices have been placed, close the doors of the unit and turn it on.
- Set the time to 7 hours (if the slices are very thin) or 10 hours (if they are thicker) and the temp to 135F. Press start and let it go.
- Once done, test a chip. If it is crispy and crunchy then your apple chips are done. If not, continue cooking. To store, place in an air tight container.
