Question

Do the apples need to be ripe?

Community Answer

You don't have to have them ripe, but unripened apples will taste tart and sour. If you prefer a sweeter taste, you use ripe apples.

How do I dry apples in the microwave?

Drying apples in the microwave oven is similar to doing so in a actual oven, except that you have to turn it to baking mode.

Question

Do I have to soak them in lemon juice?

Community Answer

You do not have to, but if you do not soak them in lemon juice, they will turn brown very quickly. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) solution has the same effect.

Question

If I don't add pineapple juice to the lemon juice, will my dry apples taste sour?

Community Answer

The taste and initial tartness or sweetness of the apples will depend on the variety, but the sweet taste will get more pronounced the longer you dry the batch regardless of the variety.

Question

Can I spray my dehydrator trays with nonstick oil so the apples do not stick?

Community Answer

Yes, although there might be a greasy residue on your apples. Personally, I've found that fully dried food comes off the dehydrator trays pretty easily.
