Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 6 pieces apples
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup Honey
  • 1 tbsp lime juice (optional)
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground cloves

Instructions
 

  • Wash and dry 6 apples - your choice of variety. Use an apple corer or knife to remove the core and seeds. I chose to not peel my apples but you can if you wish.
  • In a medium sized bowl, mix together water, honey and lime juice. ( You may omit the lime juice or use lemon instead if your prefer).
  • Using a mandoline slicer, slice apples into uniform apple rings. You can use a knife but the mandoline makes the job much easier. I recommend a special glove when using this type of slice.
  • Place apple rings in the honey water mixture and leave to soak for 3 minutes. Do not over soak.
  • Remove honey coated apple rings from liquid and allow to drain on a cooling rack or similar.
  • Mix ground cinnamon and ground cloves together in a small bowl. Use fingers to sprinkle spices on top side of apples.
  • Place apples on dehydrator trays in a single layer. Sides should be barely touching to allow good air flow.
  • Run dehydrator for 12 - 24 hours at 135° F until dry and leathery or crispy as you prefer.

Notes

Notes:
Take care to cut your apple slices or pieces into uniform thickness.  Otherwise the drying time will be very different and they will not all be done at the same time.
The key to good storage is to promptly place your dehydrated apples in an air-tight container.  They will absorb moisture from the air.
