Spiced Dehydrated Apples, by Diane

 

This recipe came from a friend who got me into dehydrating (and actually gave me my dehydrator for my birthday!). This could not be easier! And again, the house smelled absolutely amazing all day!

Ingredients:

Apples (ideally a sweeter one like gala)

Cinnamon

Cardamom

Directions:

1. Slice apples evenly on a mandolin and remove seeds.

2. Arrange in an even layer and sprinkle with seasonings.

3. Dehydrate at 158 for 5.5 hours.

Spiced Dehydrated Pears, by Diane

 

A good friend got me a dehydrator for my birthday, and it was perfect timing because I knew I could make a whole bunch of fruit and veggie snacks that were compliant with this whole30/anti-inflammatory protocol. Today I made spiced pears, and the whole house smelled amazing all day!! These are definitely a feel good fall snack, and with lots of anti-inflammatory spices to boot. 

Ingredients:

Pears, sliced thinly and evenly with a mandolin

Cinnamon

Allspice

Ginger

Directions:

1. Place the pears on a dehydrator rack spaced apart. Remove all seeds and stems.

2. Sprinkle 2 parts cinnamon to one part ginger and allspice (these two are stronger than cinnamon and I didn’t want them to overpower the flavor) over the pears.

3. Dehydrate at 158 for 10 hours, or until hard when completed (they should break when you bend them). Store in an airtight container, preferably a glass one.
