Today I spent some time chopping apples to dehydrate.
This is one way we use the apples from our apple tree. This year we have abundance. I use the dehydrated apples mostly in baking and Gerry, my husband, adds them to oatmeal cereal as its cooking. We use them in homemade snack mix which includes things like nuts; dried cranberries; and chocolate chips.
To dehydrate the apples, I chop them in uniform pieces; mist with lemon juice; place in a single layer on the drying rack; turn on the machine; occasionally rotate the racks; and leave them for a day or two.
When they seem to be like chewy leather, I turn the machine off and leave them for another couple days.
Afterward, I put them in paper bags and put the paper bags into a glass jar. 
Why not give this a try. Enjoy!
Additional instructions for dehydrating can be found on the internet and at your local library. Overall, it isn’t complicated. I started a few years ago when I had an abundance of apples. I found one dehydrator on Freecyle for free and the other I picked up for 5.00 at a thrift store. I keep track of things I dehydrate in a note book. If you dry something too much – no worries, just mist with a little water.
