I have been doing what you are doing, but using the largest apples I could find, and processing using the same machine you have with better results than using smaller apples. By the way, the Excalibur trays hold 26 sliced apples laid out in a single layer on the 9 sheets. Love your videos. You got me dehydrating things I would have never tried. I dehydrate my apples at 145 degrees for approx. 9 hrs.
Wow🥰 how long would it last in vacuum bags and how long would it last in glass jars? I just started dehydrating fruit, veggies, and herbs... I truly want to make jerkies next. 😋😋😋😋😋
Hi Mary! Thank you for the question. We add oxygen packs to all of our vacuum bags. Although the vacuum sealer will suck out most of the oxygen, there will still remain some residual oxygen within crevices, and an oxygen pack will take care of that.

what did you put in the vacuum bag before sealing the slices? Also wondering if these taste better then freeze dried apple slices? Or are they as crispy/crunchy..?
Great to see you back ! You were one of the first people to inspire me to dehydrate! What type of vacum sealer do you have there please? I want to invest in a good one, I have gone through several in the past few years and want one that will last me.
Awesome! I just watched your serie you made back in 2009. Please I want to see more! I love this! I'm currently browsing online to buy mason jars, a dehydrator and a FoodSaver to vacuum seal my jars. You are always beautiful, thanks again!
It was SO NICE to see you and a new video again!!! I have watched all of your videos several times own your book. You taught me about dehydration!!! THANK YOU. it was great seeing a new video.... I hope you are back😊😊😊
Love this video, so helpful. I gotta ask, how do u make the Apple tea? Do you just infuse with actual loose leaf tea or just use the powder in hot water? I am drying everything as we speak lol
I just watched about six of your old videos. Found this one! I have an Excalibur and I’m going to get busy! You are so helpful, and thorough. Thank you! 😊
Hi Amy, thank you for the question! Yes, you can dehydrate many fruits with the peelings on. However, for some fruits, the inner fruit will dehydrate more aggressively than the peeling, causing the two to separate in the process. These are still good to eat of course! Some fruits we leave the peels on, like lemons, limes, tangerines, peaches, starfruit, horn fruit, and others. Some, like apples, we remove the peels often. However, we never waste anything in our kitchen! For apple peels, we dehydrate those separately and often powder them for teas, baking, or other applications. All edible peelings we use in similar ways, and inedible peelings we compost. You can dehydrate apples with the peelings on too if desired and this will usually work very well. For some apple types with higher water content, you might see the peels separate away when dehydrating. Give it a try! Happy dehydrating!
I dehydrated apples about 1 year ago, and they are still vacuumed sealed. Mine turned brown. Not moldy, but, brown. I spreyed them with Lemon juice, so I don't know what I did wrong. Are they still good? Will they turn back white again, when I rehydrate them?
Hi there....enjoy your videos....but...could you use a mic for those of us that can't hear well. I do turn on the closed captions but having both would be great. Thanks so much

Excellent video! It's great you sped it up in sections! And you gave great detail! I was indecisive on whether to dehydrate my apples 🍎. I see this is a great way for me to preserve them. Thank you!
Help pls... why my Apple chips not crunchy? They r very thinly sliced using mandoline, dried with towel before putting into dehydrator, & dehydrated for 20 hours. The apples r dried but not crispy. What could possibly be the reason?
I really liked this video but i wish you didn't throw away those cores. You could save those for apple cider vinegar with those and utilize the whole apple.
Thank you for the question! We never waste anything in our kitchen! You can grind cores and use them as part of powders for teas. If doing this, I would be sure to remove the seeds, as large amounds of ground apple seeds can contain some unfavorable compounds. However, we typically use our apple and other fruit cores for composting!

great to see you. love your teachings! never get tired of them, thank you sooo much.
Wow very nice work station set up and a huge load of dried fruit.
You are amazing! Couped up and learning new skills and started with video 1. You are a food prepping machine! Much respect 💯
What was it that you put in the bag with the dried apples?
Is Hamilton Beach a good dehydrator for this? Because that is what I have

How will you use the apple powder?
So you just put them in a dehydrator?
👍🏽
Would’ve been way better if you showed finished product up close.
Soap water for washing appels
Not in my kitchen
What was it that you put in the Apple slices? Was it a moisturizing lock?
Where do I find a half bushel for 5 dollars? same place as the magical unicorn?
How do you use the ground peelings in tea?
Wow🥰 how long would it last in vacuum bags and how long would it last in glass jars? I just started dehydrating fruit, veggies, and herbs... I truly want to make jerkies next. 😋😋😋😋😋
Why are you putting an oxygen absorber in your bag when you are using a vaccum sealer which extracts out the oxygen?
Hi Mary! Thank you for the question. We add oxygen packs to all of our vacuum bags.

Why wash the apples if you’re going to peel them anyway?
I miss your videos !! It's good to see you again.
what did you put in the vacuum bag before sealing the slices? Also wondering if these taste better then freeze dried apple slices? Or are they as crispy/crunchy..?

TheLissabee me too

Do you think I could use the skins in my oatmeal
I bet the powder would be good for oatmeal AND making no-bake, no sugar oatmeal cookies, using date paste. I'm sold!
I've been waiting sooooo long for you to come back. Excited to see new videos.
I recently purchased a dehydrator & am REALLY enjoying all your videos! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
It was SO NICE to see you and a new video again!!! I have watched all of your videos several times own your book. You taught me about dehydration!!! THANK YOU. it was great seeing a new video.... I hope you are back😊😊😊
Now , thats some serious produce washing with dawn soap. I use vinager & water. 😊
I didn’t know what you did after you put the apple on that tray. You just show it that it was dried already that was the important part I was waiting
Great tutorial. i wondered if you were going to dehydrate or save peels and cores to make cider vinegar :-(
Love this video, so helpful. I gotta ask, how do u make the Apple tea? Do you just infuse with actual loose leaf tea or just use the powder in hot water? I am drying everything as we speak lol
Why bother with an oxygen absorber if you vacuum seal?
It’s good to see you again, I love your demonstrations, thank you.
I've never heard of Apple peel powder? Can you tell me how you use it?
Can you vac seal into mason jars with the O2 absorber?
do you put the apples in anything for the 10-16 hours?? Or are they just on the pan? I love dehydrated apples and desperately want to do this at home.
What is the brand name of your apple peeler??
How did she get a whole basket of apples for $5.
I just watched about six of your old videos. Found this one! I have an Excalibur and I’m going to get busy! You are so helpful, and thorough. Thank you! 😊
Get your hair out of your face!
Wow I never thought to do that with the apple peals
Wash food in detergent??? Not for me!!
That apple peeling powder would be great for smoothies too!
Does the powder dissolve in water?
"Add the bottom part first, where the stem is..." Apparently apples grow differently in your neck of the woods!. lol.
Great to see you again. I love your videos and learn so much. Thanks for sharing.
Do you have to use an oxygen bag???
Appreciate you speeding the video up. Very clear and helpful! Thank you!
Awsome video, so good to see you back, I’ve missed watching and learning from you 😀❤️
What do you do with the peels and cores after?
What's an oxygen pack?
So good to see your videos again. I've missed you.
So clever. Nothing wasted. Thank you
Can't you dehydrate them with the peelings still on them? That's where all the vitamins are.
Hi Amy, thank you for the question! Yes, you can dehydrate many fruits with the peelings on. However, for some fruits, the inner fruit will dehydrate more aggressively than the peeling, causing the two to separate in the process. These are still good to eat of course!

I like them dried with the peel on myself
Hi there....enjoy your videos....but...could you use a mic for those of us that can't hear well. I do turn on the closed captions but having both would be great. Thanks so much
Great to see you again
These videos are so helpful! Thank you so much. I can't wait to start dehydrating.
We’re so happy to hear you liked the video! Happy dehydrating!
Do you ever reply to your faithfull followers?
nice
is it possible to store in glass jars ?. And how do you make tea from apple peelings?
PLEASE..........................put a mike on so we can hear you. I don't think they cost very much. You sound all muffled and echoey
Mixed my dehydrated peach peels coarsley ground with turbonado sugar. Great for oatmeal! Thanks for the apple peel tip!
Hi.Greta video. How do you make the tea with the powder? Also can you use red apples?
🥰
I dont know if i missed it but how long can the apples be stored in the vacuum sealed bags? Whats the shelf life
I never dried apples, but we do save the cores in order to make apple vinegar.
What was the item you put in the bag with the apples?
Hi Curtis! Thank you for the question. We add oxygen packs to all of our vacuum bags.

Thanks so much for watching, happy dehydrating!
Mulțumesc ptr videoclip, chiar am avut ce învață!
can you give me some advice about peanuts and dehydrating them and other nuts? can i chop them finely and vacuum them in jars or bags?
Need help. My apples and pineapple ‘s keep coming out chewy and not crisp. Is that normal?
happy to see you back
Nice!
Nice to see you. Love the info.
Help pls... why my Apple chips not crunchy? They r very thinly sliced using mandoline, dried with towel before putting into dehydrator, & dehydrated for 20 hours. The apples r dried but not crispy. What could possibly be the reason?
I was frustrated with that too, but up above, under 'show more', she says they will be somewhat malleable! So guess we are good.
I also tried but after a week moisture comes in the pkt.after seal packing too
Very cool. Apples and banana chips are the best things in the world.
How long will this store for? Thank you 😊
I really liked this video but i wish you didn't throw away those cores. You could save those for apple cider vinegar with those and utilize the whole apple.
Thank you for the feedback!
I am so excited! I just bought your book and I did apples last night.
What did you do with the cores?

Can you use the apple peel powder as a gelatin doe jams?
So AWESOME!! Wow! Thanks for sharing!
In Toronto $40 a bushel 😬
So glad to see you again, please come back and do more videos!
What is in the spray? I didn’t get that
Great system!
Thank you so much! We are so happy your enjoyed the video!
Also wanted to ask what was that lemon spray you used and whats that necessary for?
Stops the apples from going brown whilst you are preparing them
Bushel Basket of Apples
So happy to see you doing a video again
Blessings
Awesome ! More vids!
What did you do with the core of the apples?
She probably composted them?
Doesnt the lemon juice make the apples sour?
Stella Whittingham it’s not necessary, just keeps the from browning slightly.
Fruit fresh does the same thing. I slice and soak in water and fruit fresh and it comes out great
Oh wow - how cool - thank u - welcome back - we need u :)
❤️
Great video!! I like boiling up my peels and cores to get the juice and make apple jelly! Might have to do some dehydrating soon!
apple jelly? how? can you explain?
