Everything You Need to Know about Dehydrated Apples
There are two main types of dehydrated apples, chips and slices. They are both good and I personally store both. I find that they can be used almost interchangeably. The main differences are the color (apple slices are darker and have the peal attached) and the flavor (chips are sweet and slices are a little tart)
The Specs:
Apple Chips –thin like potato chips, thinly slices no peel, great for tarts. Apple chips have a sweet apple taste and are best used for baking, but they do make a nice snack.

| Apple Chips | 1 c. | 1 ½ c. | 1 ½ c. | Add boiling water and let set for 15 min. |

Apple Slices – organic, dehydrated slices with peel (which means more fiber), the slices are thicker than the apple chips. When re-hydrated they are brown. Best used for snacking but can be used for baking. Apple slices are made from Granny Smith Apples and are a little bit tart.
