Oven Dried Apples Recipes

DRIED APPLES (IN THE OVEN!)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 225 Fahrenheit.
• Wash the apples, then slice them very thin, about 1/8". We recommend using a mandoline to slice. Leave the cores in the apples, but remove any seeds as you cut.
• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Lay the apple slices on the tray in a single layer, as close as possible without touching. Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired.
• Bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until curled and lightly browned. The chips will crisp after cooling for several minutes. (To test whether it is done, pull out an apple chip and set it on the counter for a few minutes until cool, then taste whether it is crisp.) Store the apple chips in a sealed container or mason jar at room temperature for about 1 week.

OVEN-DRIED APPLES

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients. Heat the oven to its lowest setting, usually between 140 F and 150 F.
• In a nonreactive bowl, mix water and vinegar (or lemon juice ).
• Use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin off the apples.
• Core apples with an apple corer or slice each apple into quarters. Cut off tough center of each piece.
• Using a sharp knife, cut apples into 1/4-inch-thick slices. As you slice apples, drop pieces into prepared acidulated water to prevent browning. Let slices soak while you finish slicing remaining apples.
• Drain apple slices in a colander , letting them sit for 2 to 3 minutes to drain off as much water as possible. If apple pieces are too moist, they will steam instead of dry in oven. To remove excess moisture, place slices on top of a clean kitchen towel and pat dry with a paper towel.
• Place cooling racks inside baking sheets and arrange apples on racks so slices are not touching.
• Place baking sheets in the oven. If you don't have a convection oven, prop oven door open with the handle of a wooden spoon to let steam and moisture escape. Let apples dry until they are a leathery or crispy texture, depending on your preference; this can take anywhere from 6 to 10 hours. If your oven is hotter in some spots than others, turn baking sheets around occasionally so that pieces dry evenly. Once apples have the desired texture, remove from the oven. You won't be completely sure if the apple pieces are fully dehydrated until they have cooled. Let apples cool on trays for 20 minutes.
• After 20 minutes, tear a piece of the fruit in half. There should be no visible moisture along the surface of the break. If the apple is still soft, return to oven for a bit longer. Start with 30 minutes and check for moisture again.

OVEN-DRIED FRUIT

Steps:

• Heat oven to 225 degrees. Line a baking pan with parchment paper (or a Silpat baking mat, if you're drying figs). Arrange fruit, cut sides up, spaced 1/2 to 1 inch apart, on pan. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar over fruit; depending on fruit's tartness, add more sugar.
• Transfer pan to oven; dry until fruit has shriveled, edges have dried, and centers are still juicy; timing will vary according to variety of fruit, ripeness, and size, 1 1/2 to 4 hours. If juices start to run, baste with juices every hour. Transfer pan to a cooling rack; remove from pan while still warm.

OVEN-DRIED CINNAMON-SUGAR APPLE PEEL CHIPS

• Bake for 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until peels are thoroughly dried and snap-crisp when bent.
• Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes or until cool enough to touch. Gently break dried peels into 1 to 2-inch long pieces.

Steps:

• Set the oven racks at the top and bottom thirds of the oven. Preheat the oven to 170°F (75°C), or its lowest temperature. Line up to 4 baking sheets with nonstick reusable mats.
• Cut the top off of the pineapple, and slice a thin layer off the bottom so it stands upright. Core the pineapple and discard the skin and core. Cut into 2-3-inch (5-7.5 cm) pieces. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet.
• Peel the skin off the kiwis, then slice into ¼-⅓-inch (½-1 cm) wide rounds. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet.
• Peel the skin off the mangoes. Cut around the pit, then slice into ¼- to ⅓-inch (½-1 cm) wide strips. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Squeeze the lemon over the mango so it does not oxidize in the oven.
• Remove the tops from strawberries, and cut into ¼-⅓-inch (½-1 cm) wide slices. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet.
• Bake the fruit, in batches if necessary, for 6-8 hours, until dried, leathery, and all moisture has evaporated. The kiwis and strawberries should take less time, while the pineapple will take the longest. Crack the oven door every hour or so, especially in the beginning, to allow moisture to escape.
• Let the fruit cool, then store in an airtight container for up to 1 week, ideally with a silica gel packet to maintain dryness.
• Enjoy!
