I want to give my dehydrator a nice big ole hug! Yesterday I started to test dehydrating fruits as snacks. The apples came out the best! I sliced them up thin and rubbed a thin coat of cinnamon & nutmeg... my house smelled like I was baking an apple pie the whole time. :) They were fantastic. I can't wait until apple season comes around at the local farm... They have these gigantic honeycrisp apples that I really like to go pick. I am totally making a ton of apple chips when they become available. Great for my kid's lunchbox & my husband's 10 o'clock snack.
I also dehydrated banana slices & strawberries. The bananas were about to "go" and they also came out amazing. I highly recommend getting a dehydrator for the only reason that it doesn't add as much heat as your oven would and it frees up your oven if you want to use it for other things (like dinner). My dehydrator also came with trays for fruit leather. From my previous posts that is a little hit or miss... the strawberry recipe came out really great though.
I can't wait to continue to experiment with fruits, vegetables & leathers on my dehydrator.
