An Apple ( Pyrus Malus) A Day, So They Say, Did You Know?

 Did you know that you could dry a whole apple and use it as a tea? It supports in eliminating toxins from the system. If you dry the apple until it's brittle you can then put it in the blender and use it as a natural sweetener.

God Bless And Have A Superb Tuesday!

Tricks for drying Apples.Dehydrator or Oven Drying
1 Pick pesticide-free, ripe, firm apples.
2 Wash, core and peel the apples.
3 Cut apples into wedges and slice into 1/4-inch-thick slices, or slice the apples into rings.
4 Dip apple slices in an ascorbic acid mixture (1/4 c. lemon juice to 1 qt. water) - to keep them from turning brown as they dry.
5 Place the slices one layer deep on kitchen trays. Do not overlap the slices.
6 Dry at 115 degrees F for 6 to 8 hours.
7 Turn the slices after 4 hours and rotate the trays if needed.
8 Test for dryness after 6 hours and then every 2 hours until no moisture remains in the center of the slices.
Automobile And A Hot Sunny Day Drying:
 It seem strange but the same scorching hot car that burns your legs makes for a perfect food dryer.  Spread the apple slices on shallow trays . Cover loosely with cheesecloth to keep bugs away, they may want to sneak in. Lay your trays down on the dashboard . Make sure windows are rolled up. Park in the sunniest spot you can find first thing in the morning, keep them there till the sun goes down.Make sure you bring the apples in the house overnight. I like to sprinkle the apples with some spices (typically cinnamon, nutmeg or allspice) . Don't forget to check them every now and then.
