Christmas Dried Apple Slices

Make festive red and green apple slices to give away at Christmas.

Ingredients

  • Fresh Apples, any variety
  • Red Jello Powder
  • Green Jello Powder

Instructions

  • Slice off the top stem side of the apple and then slice the apple into thin rounds, somewhere between 1/8″ to 1/4″ thick. A mandolin slicer works best so they are all the same thickness. Remove the seeds or the whole core. I leave the peel on to save time, but you can remove it.Dip one side of each apple slice into the dry Jello powder, then arrange in a single layer in your dehydrator or onto a parchment paper-lined baking pan.
  • Dehydrator: Turn the dehydrator to 135ºF. Allow the apples to dehydrate for 6 to 8 hours or until they are dried through.
  • Oven: Preheat the oven to 200ºF. Bake the apples slices for 1 hour, then flip them and allow to bake for another 1 to 2 hours until the chips are no longer moist. Flip occasionally and check them often.

Notes

Properly dried apples are good for up to six months when stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
