Apple Chips

Drying apple slices is a traditional preservation method that allows you to enjoy the taste of apples for a longer time. It is an excellent way to use ripe fruits. The dehydration process allows apples to retain their natural taste and nutritional values in a concentrated form.

RECIPE

1. Prepare ripe, firm apples. Wash them thoroughly to remove contaminants.
2. Slice the apples into thin slices about 0.5 to 1 cm thick.
3. Remove the core and seeds from the slices.
4. To prevent the slices from discoloring, place them in icy water with lemon juice and ice, and leave for 5 minutes.
5. Remove the apple slices from the water and thoroughly dry them with paper towels.
6. Sprinkle the apple slices with cinnamon to taste.
7. Arrange the apple slices on the smoking tray, ensuring they do not touch each other for even drying.
8. Place the tray with apples in the Borniak Smoker, ensuring adequate space between them for proper airflow.
9. Set the temperature to 60°C and leave for 12 hours until the apples become crispy and slightly shrunk*.
10. After drying is complete, remove the apples and let them cool.
11. You can store the finished dried apples in an airtight container.

*The dehydrator can only be used at temperatures up to 30°C. The airflow in the cabinet is sufficient for drying thanks to the heaters.

Now you can enjoy delicious, crispy dried apples, perfect as a healthy snack or as an addition to various dishes!
