I’ve always heard you dehydrate apples. Bananas and strawberries, too. You can can like Mama Walton!

How do you go about dehydrating apples? And what do you do to revive a dried up apple slice?

@stanley A lovely little dehydrator in you kitchen or pantry!
Healthy dried fruit, candied fruit, alcohol infused fruit, pies, anything you want.
I believe you just soak in water or brandy, etc..overnight before using.
You can also make your own thin-sliced gourmet beef jerky, dried squid, etc…
It’s really fun, I’ve had the same one since my early 20’s.

I would hire YOU as my personal chef!

@stanleybmanly you and @reddeerguy both talk so lovingly of food, it would be fun haha! I do love an appreciative crowd.
My hillbilly gyoza dumplings are really good, too. I love steamed dumplings.

Yes, it works best if you put the slices in ice water as you cut them, then refrigerate overnight. Drain the water, place slices in a freezer bag, and into the freezer.

WONDERFUL!! Thank You.

I don’t know how many apples you have, but apples last a long time in the fridge. 6–8 weeks. Maybe you have an apple tree?

You might consider making some apple sauce. You can freeze that also.

I recently made apple cake. I assume it freezes well.

@YARNLADY It doesn’t work with whole apples?

@JLeslie Whole apples are too thick to freeze properly. They will thaw out mushy. It does work with wedges also.

Thanks.
