Dehydrating Apples

Still putting up apples, thought it was time to try out the dehydrator.

Here's the setup. Dilute lemon juice, apples, peeler.















The peeler certainly makes short work of the apples!







 After a bath in the dilute lemon juice, the apples go into the trays.


Last tray ready to go.



All assembled and dehydrating.



















Per the instructions,  5-9 hours from now I'll have nice dehydrated slices.

Later this afternoon, the apples were done at about 4.5 hours. The book said 5-9, but it was warm today, perhaps the sped things up.

It's pretty cool that 4 big apples fit in a quart jar!







Until Next Time, Eat Well & Keep Digging!
