Dehydrating apples has never been easier. I'm going to tell you everything you need to know about a food dehydrator, plus simple step-by-step instructions on how to make these amazingly delicious dehydrated cinnamon apples!

Ingredients

  • 5apples, (honeycrisp, gala, fuji, or pink lady)
  • 1lemon, (juice of)
  • 2 tablespoonsugar, (granulated)
  • 2 teaspooncinnamon, (ground)
  • ½ teaspoonnutmeg, (ground)
  • 1 teaspoonvanilla extract

Directions

  1. 1

    Core the apple and slice into rings that are 1/4" thick.

  2. 2

    Mix the lemon juice, vanilla extract, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl. Whisk until well blended. It's ok if some of the mixture is a little lumpy.

  3. 3

    In a colander, rinse the apples.Place the apples in a gallon size Ziplock bag. Pour the lemon juice cinnamon mixture into the bag and seal.

  4. 4

    Shake the bag until the mixture is well coated onto the apples. Let the apples marinate on the counter for 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Place each apple on the wire rack of the dehydrator. Apples should not be touching and should not overlap.

  6. 6

    Put the wire racks into the dehydrator and close the door. Set the temperature to 135°F.

  7. 7

    Depending on the desired texture depends on how long you will dehydrate the apples.Crisp - I like mine more on the crisp side, so I run my dehydrator for a full 12 hours.Pliable - run the dehydrator for 5-6 hours.

  8. 8

    Once the apples are completely done, remove from the dehydrator and allow to cool.

  9. 9

    Store in an airtight container.
