【Expert answer】
Any Q

The best apple for dehydrating is Gala or Fuji. Both are sweet apples that make your dried apples taste like you've added sugar when you haven't! Other good options are Golden Delicious, Honeycrisp and Fuji apples. If you prefer less sweetness in your dried apples, go with Granny Smith.


Are Pink Lady apples good for dehydrating?

Pink Lady apples are good apples for dehydrating because they don't wither up much when dried and also are slower to brown than many other varieties. That means Pink Lady is just about the perfect dehydrated apple: holds its shape, delicious, and with a light color.

How long do dehydrated apples last?

Properly dried apples should keep for about 6 months sealed in airtight containers and stored in a cool, dry place. You can also freeze for longer storage, up to a year.

Why are my dehydrated apples not crispy?

Dehydrate at 135°F until they are spongy and dry to the touch, but not crispy. This usually takes between 10-14 hours, depending on how accurately you slice the apples and the type of dehydrator you have. Keep an eye on them after the 10-hour mark to make sure they don't dry out too much.

How thick should apples be for dehydrating?

It's important the apples are the right thickness before dehydrating. Slice the apples approximately 1/3-inch thick—they should be no thicker than 1/2-inch thick. Otherwise, they won't dry well. Continue to 4 of 7 below.
