It is easy to make dried apple slices and doing so basically entails dehydrating the fruit slices. The entire process is actually very easy. Read on below to know the ingredients and step-by-step process of dehydrating apple slices.
Your basic and only ingredient in making apple slices is just fresh but ripe apples. Check your apples to see if they are firm and not overripe. If you want high quality dried apples, then you should ensure that you use good quality fresh fruits. One example of good apple type is the Roma apple.
The equipment you need for dehydrating apple slices are the following - a vacuum food sealer or a freezer bag, a pot, a slotted spoon and an oven. If you are going to use freezer bags, then you can choose the zip lock type as they are quite effective in protecting the apples from freezer burn.
Here are the steps to making tried apple slices.
The first step is to select the right apples. Ensure that the apples you use are firm but fresh ones. Beware of the mushy types as they would simply affect your snack output. It would also be wise to choose sweet apples so that you can end with sweet and delicious apple slices.
The next step is to make sure that the apples you are going to use for the process are clean. Just like washing any other fruit or vegetable, you can do the washing only with water and not with soap.
If you notice any soft or bruised parts in the apples, then you must slice them off and throw them away.
It is up to you if you want to remove the apple skin. For people who do not like eating the fruit skin, it would be good to peel off the apple skins at this stage. Apple peelers are available but you can also use your ordinary knife to remove the skin, to cut the stem and to remove the small apple seeds.
For dehydrating devices, you can choose from three options. You can use a dehydrator, an oven or even the top of your car. Regardless of the dehydrating device you use, you should ensure that you put slices of the fruit on a tray and sprinkle cinnamon on them. Sprinkling cinnamon can give you better-tasting end products. You can easily determine if the apples are ready if they are already flexible. Of course, the slices should have deep red color. By following the steps above and by handpicking fresh ripe apples, you can easily make dried apples slices as snacks.
