Just do it the same way - pit, dry to the point of being absolutely hard, powder, and use :) I'm working on a post/video on that now that should be out in another week - dry them long!
Darcy, thank you so much for this video. I have never had luck dehydrating apples, but I think now I can be successful. South Texas summers are brutal.
Cosmic Crisp apples were on sale for under a $1 today (which cannot even pick for that price) I can't believe they had such a sale in June. They are crisp tart but sweet. Peeled them not that we mind the peels but the peel is supposed to make great apple cider. I put maple sugar/cinnamon on them. Driving my dog crazy with the delicious smell. Have to go back tomorrow and get more. 5 apples filled our 6 tray cosori.
I run a sink full of hot water and pour in 1/2 cup bleach and some Dawn dish soap and put my liners in there and let them soak for several hours, then I wash them with my sponge and rinse them really good and they look like brand new. I dehydrate a lot of carrots and peppers and they both stain the trays really bad, so I have to do this a couple times a month. I know some people don't like bleach, but, i like to keep my trays looking new.
Darcy, I have learned a ton from your channel, thank you! With apple slices we didn’t dry as long as you did and our slices are slightly bendy which we prefer for texture…as long as we condition them and look for the things you mention during that step, will they be ok for long term storage outside of a freezer in an airtight jar?
No - if they are not fully dry, they are not safe for long-term storage. Bendy is a relative term. Do you mean they don't break at all when you bend them? if that's the case, they aren't dry enough for assured storage.
Ok sorry, good point on “bendy.” They will break eventually, but it’s not a crispy crunchy break. It’s almost a tear so to speak. Not sure if that helps or not 😂, but am I better off putting these in a vacuum sealed bag in the freezer? I was trying to avoid that and hoping for an airtight jar with a desiccant packet on the shelf.
This happened to me with blueberries. Granddaughter forgot to take them out. So I restarted the dehydrator and finished them off-and they are slated for powder now!
If you peel your apples to dehydrate, can you dehydrate the peelings to make fruit powder, assuming you wash the apples well before peeling or is there a problem making them into powder? I am enjoying your videos so much. Thank you for making them.
The humidity packets are they from Amazon and which do you use cause I'm not sure which is safe for food. Also the humidity strip where did you get that? Your video is amazing. Thank you. Deina from El Paso Tx. Have a great Christmas!
There are links in the comments to both. Yes, they are food safe, though I don't store my humidity strips with food. I test and remove. Glad you loved the video! (Though..let me suggest you edit your video and remove your city/state ;) ) Keep safe!
I was wondering do you condition your dried items before turning them into a powder? Thank you for all your videos- they are helping me build confidence to actually use my new dehydrator.
@@kaylabug0719 it is just putting the dried ingredients in a jar for a week -10 days and then every day turn the jar around and see if any moisture is on the jar or any of it is sticking to the jar. Hope this helps 🙋🏻♀️
I wonder what I did wrong? My machine was running for 12 hrs at 135 and they came out chewy even when cooled. Will try again with thicker slices like you. Love your channel btw !!
Hi Darcy. Thank you for teaching us, I have learned a lot from your videos already. My question today is, would it be possible to dry apple slices at a higher temperature. My dehydrator goes up to 90 C. The reason I am asking is that I am allergic to raw apples but I noticed that in the past my mum dried apples in the oven and I was able to eat them. Just asking about the process, I understand you can not comment on the allergic potential 😊
You can choose whatever temp you want. You'll lose more vitamins/nutrients with higher temps, but if they aren't your only source of that nutrition, you're fine.
Darcy if you want the apples for a snack (not powder) do they need to be breakable or bendable. This is the hardest thing for me to know. If all fruit needs to be crispy or some fruits bendable. I’m such a novice
It's up to you - breakable makes them better for storage. Bendable may be a better mouth feel for you - but remember any moisture leads to mold, so not fully dry needs to be stored in the fridge and has a shorter shelf-life.
Hello Darcy! I am new to dehydrating and am starting with apples because we have a prolific apple tree this year. It takes longer than normal because we share the apples with worms. Fortunately, they usually go to the core, which I cut out anyway, so there is lots of the apple left for slices, etc. I was curious as to what kind of pen you use to write on the top of the metal canning lids and the white plastic lids. Does it erase?
What is the ratio of fruit powder to arrowroot powder? I am experimenting on dehydrating fruit but some are bad at caking together. Thank you for your advice. Big Fan
You mentioned a pre-treatment process for the apples before dehydrating them. How many parts of lemon juice and how many parts of water for the pre-treatment bath? Thank you!
Good evening Darcy; I made a batch of apples and devided it into cinnamon sugar covered and pain sliced apples. The cinnamon sugared ones became crispy but not the plain slices. I left them for 2x 2 hours extra, but they did not become crispy. All with all over 12 hours. What could be wrong?
Hi Darcy! Thanks for this video and all your advices, priceless. One question, the powder you obtained… is this the powder from the apples slices you dehydrated with cinnamon and sugar? I am making apple slices with Honeycrisp apples… never done it before, I hear they are really sweet… should I skip the sugar or maybe put just a little to help mix with the cinnamon? Great cideo! ❤
I am dehydrating apples with peels on. Also making applesauce. For the applesauce I peeled the apples by hand. Froze the peels. If I want to dehydrate the peels and make powder from them, is that possible? Do I thaw first or dehydrate frozen? Also after the apples are done dehydrating, and put in jars for conditioning you do not leave it uncovered? Thank you.
Yes - you can do the peels for powder from frozen or thawed. If you leave dehydrated food uncovered, it will begin to absorb the moisture in the air around it. You need to keep it stored in airtight containers.
Slice them thin, dry them long - some like to dry at 150 to get more of a crisp - but they aren't going to be like freeze-dried if that's the comparison you make
Can raw rice be used with fruit powders to cut down on clumping? I use rice in my salt shakers to keep the salt from clumping in the summertime. Wouldn't this be the same idea?
Hi! I am new at dehydrating. Have done 2 loads of apple slices in my dehydrator and after 24 hours they are not crispy. How long you wait to jar your apples after they have cooled off? First batch I did at 130° and the second at 140°.
Are you testing them when they are cool or while still warm? Always wait until your sample is cool. It should break easily. Once at that point, allow them to come to room temperature, condition, then store. ruclips.net/video/PBktvOdVhaI/видео.html
I have tried to dehydrate apples two times in the past two weeks. My first batch was fresh apples that I peeled and cored and sprinkled with citric acid. The second batch was packaged apples that were excess leftover from school lunch program. I still sprinkled them with citric acid. In both cases my apples turned brown during dehydrating. I have watched videos where people have done nothing to them to prevent browning but yet there's did not turn brown. What am I doing wrong?
Sprinkling with citric acid may not be enough as you may not be covering the entire surface area, thus it oxidizes. And not all varieties turn brown equally - so do a citric acid dip or sprinkle some cinnamon on them and any browning won't matter ;)
It won't be like traditional sauce, but a thinner version, but allow it to sit and soak for awhile, it can thicken up - you can add a little more powder to get it thicker.
They should be leathery, pliable to snappy for storage. You can do them at any texture you prefer if you're just snacking (as long as you store them in the fridge).
My apples won't turn out crispy. I have dehydrated them 55 deg Celsius for 8 hours, but they turn out dried but soft. Should I cut the apples a little thicker? or Should I dehyrdate them again for another 8 hours? or Should I put the temperature to 60 deg. Celsius and dehydrate them for another 8 hours?
How much time it takes to dry? I tried drying apples for 12 hours but still could feel moisture in them, also apples did bend instead of breaking. What can go wrong?
@@ThePurposefulPantry thanks for your suggestions as for which dehydrator to purchase. I just ordered the NESCO FD-75A, so now no need to worry about the 185F temp on my single temp dehydrator. Looking forward to searching and following your RUclips.
Tbh I don’t think lemon water is necessary. The ones I did without didn’t really turn that brown, and especially if you are adding cinnamon you really can’t tell the difference
Not everyone likes the brown color (and doesn't use cinnamon ) and different apples oxidize at different rates. But it is all a matter of personal preference. But if you didn't know WHY your apples turned brown in the past -- now you do!

I did - but it didn't work. They're just stained, and that's okay.

I dehydrate a lot of carrots and peppers and they both stain the trays really bad, so I have to do this a couple times a month.

Stained trays are a sign of a full and happy pantry :) I don't use bleach on mine, but if it works for you - great.
I use fresh lemon , vinegar, Dawn. Although it doesn’t take off the stains from the mesh, the sure are clean. But it sure does clean the metal trays.
Soak In a dishwasher tablet in sink or dishwater liquid (whatever you have) It a great way to lift ANY stains!
Lemon juice might help to remove stains and dry in the sun. The sun works on many things to whiten and destain things.

Rhubarb is good for stains.
maybe Tooth paste ? Be proud they look used. !
I don't have a problem with stains at all - but I know others worry about it for themselves.
Could I add water to the powder to make regular apple sauce?
It won't be like traditional sauce, but a thinner version, but allow it to sit and soak for awhile, it can thicken up - you can add a little more powder to get it thicker.
I wonder if washing the trays with vinegar would help with cleaning the pepper stains, but I'm new to dehydrating so maybe you've already tried this.

They should be leathery, pliable to snappy for storage. You can do them at any texture you prefer if you're just snacking (as long as you store them in the fridge).
@@ThePurposefulPantry Thanks this is for long term. Mine are more leathery not snappy. Should I put them in longer then?

Test them when a sample has cooled off; stop looking at the time and dry until they are fully dry. The timer doesn't matter.
