Drying Apples & Trying Out A New Dehydrator! 🍎🍏🍎// Garden Answer

[@nikkiwebber1349]

I aspire to have as much energy as you Laura. You take care of so many things in your garden and around your house. And then you go and put out a lovely baking/food video! You have so much ambition and it’s very refreshing to watch your videos every day. I hope you can feel my love and appreciation ❤️❤️❤️

[@lptracy]

Hi Laura. Am Tracy, from India. I have been watching all your videos and it truely inspired me. Through you I have developed my interest and knowledge in Gardening. Forever grateful to you. Thank you 💗

[@gshweta1006]

Hi Tracy. I am Shweta. I am from India too. I have been watching this channel from atleast 4 years now and Laura is so inspiring. Though I live in a very different climate than hers but I always wait fro her video everyday and get inspired and plant some veggies or so in my small balcony garden whenever possible. 😊 So greatful that I found her channel!! 🙏

[@lptracy]

@@gshweta1006 me too, I'm from Mumbai, not much space for gardening as such, but I watch her videos daily. They uplift my mood. Seeing the plants growing, harvesting, changing garden from season to season. Its just great.

[@jackiebirch1600]

I have never considered drying fruit. It looks so good. I enjoy these random videos as well.

[@digsindirt4490]

[@Melissa-gg8xc]

Me: Literally never thought of dehydrating anything, ever. *Laura posts a video* Me: "I need a dehydrator!"

[@Neyobe]

Haha we have one but we haven’t used it in a while

[@amylord6677]

Haha same here!

[@WhisperingWayFarm]

Haha, I was just thinking that! Now that fall is coming, I need another hobby to start! 😄 I mean, think of all the fun fruit chips I can make!

Melissa lol, same

[@gardenersdelight7479]

Me too 😂

[@martamelendez231]

Laura makes us all want to do every single one of these things we have never done before! The sorcery she has on us! Love it. 💚

[@tishgordon]

Thank you for sharing more about what we can do with our produce (whether homegrown or bought for those of us not brave enough to try fruit/veg gardening yet). When we can't do as much in our gardens, we can still do something to feel productive and provide some yummies after working hard all summer! I hope you'll continue to do more of these types of videos, especially now when it may not be as safe for you to be outside in the smokey air. I would love to know more about how you're storing produce...such as those LOVELY peppers hanging on your stove! I LOVE THAT!! Or even more recipes that you and the family enjoy with them. Thanks for all you do!

[@joyces.9021]

I have taken up canning again this year, after a hiatus of about 20 years! Love preserving the riches of harvest for my family! Have you ever made salsa from the abundance of your garden? Soooo much better than store-bought, and such a great gift, too.

[@iartistdotme]

I use my NESCO almost every week - love dried apples sprinkled every so slightly with cinnamon and then again with sugar LIGHTLY. They are our candy. BUT mine dries from the top down and can hold 11 trays - you may want to check your instructions to see if you can just stack them higher using just one. I LOVE my Nesco Gardenmaster but know that the square ones hold more due to the center not being off limits. We love jerky but mostly use it for dried herbs and apples and tomato flakes. Favorite thing so far is dried chopped sweet onions - use it outdoors for this one. Then once dry, I grind them in my blender and make the BEST dried onion powder for soup and other seasoning - they really taste wonderful and rich like nothing I've tasted before. Dried hot peppers is another one I love - making flakes for my own pepper flakes. YUM I do like this video so much! I've never gotten my apples past eating them within days of making them but would love to know if you ever tried re-hydrating them into pies or other desserts.

[@dianamiller2448]

How do you make tomato flakes please share.

[@slcarey17]

I have the same and I have 9 trays, I was going to suggest that she buy more trays too.

[@KarenDGobsmacked]

Yes, how do you make your tomato flakes and how do you use them?

[@iartistdotme]

@@KarenDGobsmacked I use the fruit leather inserts, spread the pulp, skins, and some sauce over it then dry it. Once done you can break it up into flakes and use it to enhance any tomato based soup or stew. Several good YT videos on doing this.

[@iartistdotme]

@@dianamiller2448 See my response to Karen and good luck

[@Inhshaver51]

Just wanted to say how much I enjoy all your videos. I have been pretty much housebound for the last 3 years or so taking care of my mom at first and then my husband also for the past year. Your videos have been a lifeline for me, they are inspirational, informative and completely the highlight of my week. My husband is recovering well and I think this coming spring I will have some time to get outside and enjoy the garden again. Thanks again to you, Aaron, Benjamin and the kitties for keeping me sane, if you ever get to wondering if it's ever worth the effort, believe me when I say it is, it's so wonderful to have this to look forward to.

[@lettyregan2207]

I love the food dehydrating and any other food preservation videos. It's an extension of our gardens so we can keep it with us all year, especially in the winter months.

[@libbylauderdale4255]

You can order extra trays for your round dehydrators.

[@janisabel3128]

So nice to see life going along normally without all the present day fear and hysteria. Made me happy. 😊 Thank you Laura and Erin.

[@SChiragRai]

i love when u do vlogs like this too so relaxing to watch ure videos

[@sharylblomquist7547]

Hey Laura you can add extra trays to your nesco. I run 20 trays at a time and usually run 2 dehydraters at a time. You can also zest the lemons before you juice your lemons and dehydrate the zest. Great for baking and gifts.

[@sharylblomquist7547]

Also add a little cinnamon and it tastes like apple pie

[@fizzypop1858]

Very interesting to see how the different dehydrators work. And loving that there's no music in the videos lately. Great editing!

[@joanward7390]

Heard at Amazon Boy we’ve sold a ton of dehydrators today. I wonder what’s going on? 🤣 🍎

[@soniabrown8895]

Ha! I am one of those lucky ones who just happened to order a dehydrator a few days ago before this video came out. I know from past experiences, when Laura recommends something they sell out quickly!

[@pamd74]

We love dried apples too! I always sprinkle cinnamon over them once they’re on the tray and they’re delicious

[@Bev19603]

I like how you preserve your garden and fruits and vegetables. Please keep sharing

[@clarefriend1376]

After watching, got my dehydrators out, mandolin ✅, apples✅, water with lemon juice✅ ready to roll. Love these types of videos as well

[@cbvickers4044]

Thank you Laura and Aaron. I really appreciate the close-ups and thorough instructions.

[@Elizabeth45840]

I could smell the banana bread when it came out. You brought back so many memories! Hope you enjoyed your walk like I Enjoy your videos!

[@QuiltingKell]

I have the same dehydrator that you have now, passed onto me from my dad. I love it. I agree with you, if you’re going to get all the stuff out, you want to make it worth it. One year, I dried hamburger for soups. Not something I would do again but I gave it a try. Love your show! Thanks for all the information & variety.

[@lurblur11]

One of your videos is always a pleasure!! Have a great first week of fall my lovely lady!!🥰🥰🥰🍂🍂

[@okhal]

As someone who used to cook professionally for 10 years I can tell you that your fear of the mandolin is totally justified lol

[@yesitssweetmamas.5300]

Yep, justified. My husband and myself on the same day slicing cucumbers for pickles. Wasn’t funny then, but we both laugh about it now.

[@pegcurrie3337]

Yes, I love canning and dehydrating and savoring every last drop of the garden! I do mine with an apple peeler corer very easy

[@melsolomon8256]

You need an awesome outdoor kitchen area. You are always cooking outside.

[@helenhurley834]

We have a couple of apple trees in our yard and we also dry them. Before we put the apples in the dehydrator we put cinnamon on top. When dried it is so delicious. Once you start snacking, you forget how many slices you have eaten. Great healthy snack..

[@Bamboo4U2]

Well, too much sugar (even fructose) isn't great, but whole fruit is *always* better than fruit juice.

[@brittanymarie18]

You can also use salt water to keep your apples from browning. My mom, grandma and I use it when making apple pies and it does not effect the taste.

[@robynmorris2408]

Brittany Garbrecht : I did not know you could use salt...but makes perfect sense, thanks for sharing.

[@JenniferPerryMyScraproom]

I bought a dehydrator in March of this year and after one very loud day of having it sit on my kitchen counter I called my electrician and asked if he could install a plug in my pantry. On most days I hate that I have a window in my pantry but on dehydrating days it is nice to crack open that window a tiny bit, place my dehydrator on a TV tray table and shut the door. What a difference it makes. Oh and yes, I love videos like this.

[@lfeathers1259]

I tied drying fruit this year with a dehydrator and the whole process was a pain and all the fruit spoiled. My husband and I used to dry fruit every year the first 10 years we lived on our property. We had 45 fruit trees so preserving whatever you can for later becomes handy. After my batch of fruit spoiled using a dehydrator we went back to our ole fashion way of drying using burning sulfur and the good ole sun. Worked like a charm and so yummy. I could do so much more at one time. And it was free and no messy clean up of a machine. Sometimes the old way of doing things is the best.

[@kathymatheny6336]

The style with the front door is very convenient to check all levels vs removing tiers on the old style. We mostly used ours to make dog treats but pineapple is my favorite thing to dehydrate. Tastes just like a jolly rancher.

[@duncanburl7586]

Watching you , brings back memories when I was growing up. New generation don't know anything about dehydration. Fall is in the air here in Tennessee.

[@AngelinaJoy1]

Hi Laura, my husband has 2 of those plastic dehydrators, maybe they are different brands but he got them to dry out his hot peppers and he was able to buy extra racks so he could dry more at a time in one session. Maybe apples are different but it might be something to look into. Also, the smells in your kitchen must have been heavenly, apples AND banana bread! I'm drooling just thinking about it haha!

[@shanachrisman6638]

Laura- get those out earlier and dehydrate strawberries. You will love them, and so will the kiddos!

[@Ladythyme]

Dehydrating is great..even compared to canning as far as storage goes... I do carrots, celery, onions, mushrooms, leeks....lemon, oranges, limes, bananas...even jerky and fruit leather... and just about anything anytime I have dehydrator space and save that which might go bad before I can use it..I love having things on hand and not having to worry about them not going bad for quite some time... I have a Nesco which I purchased more trays for... a total of 8... I also have a Hamilton Beach which the don’t make any longer which looks to be like a take off on wo the Westin or visa versa ....Book dehydrating time does necessarily matter... all that matters is that they are dry so the don’t mold...I store mine with oxygen absorbers which help preservation. Would love to get one like your new one...A bit pricey for my budget....maybe Someday 😊

[@judyh1296]

I just bought an Excalibur 9 tray. Dried so far: celery, cabbage, carrots, orange peels, cilantro, green onions, cauliflower, thyme, swiss chard, red bell pepper, kale, parsley, ginger and crimini mushrooms. Yum!

[@Oldebookworm]

I have been canning since I was a teen. I actually got paid to do the canning for a family friend. I have a dehydrator. I love dried fruits but have not had great success at drying them. You have encouraged me to try again.

[@sharonmclaughlin2258]

I’m looking forward to seeing how you like these dehydrators. I’m interested in starting to Dehydrate food and herbs.

[@genahall8643]

You can put up tp 12 trays on your Nessco. I just bought extra trays for mine.

[@rachelg7371]

I stack mine too.

[@novampires223]

I have 5 of this style, 2 inherited, I love them. Being able to do ten trays at once means getting done with drying a large batch of fruit before it spoils. I dry up to 200 pounds of Italian plums every year, love them so much. Now doing apples for the first time.😊

[@DixieGirl9876]

Love the glass door. I've had an Excalibur 9 tray dehydrator for years it's big, love it. We go every fall to the orchards and buy a bushel or so of apples to dehydrate and can apple sauce, apple butter and jelly. Fall is a busy time for preserving for us.

[@tamipruitt5564]

Love the idea of preserving videos!I've had the same dehydrator for 22 years. Got it as a wedding gift and its still going strong!

[@Taylors_ridge_glamping_NC]

My now 10 year old was gifted a dehydrator for Christmas a couple of years ago. It's never been used but after seeing how easy this is I'm thinking we may have to try it out this weekend. Thanks for the inspiration and showing us that it's not complicated at all. I'd love to see you dehydrate other foods.

[@cjinspirations]

I like my excalibur dehydrator, can do large amounts from the garden. Has 9 shelves, great results Dehydrated tomatoes all herbs, potatoes are great use for the dehydrator, if it grows you can dehydrate, sprinkle with cinnamon too. Keeps for years when stored correctly

[@simplehomechannel]

We started weay back when Laura was planting in the laundry basket....I love the growth may God bless you more love ❤️😍 dear

[@Rosearion]

That Tribest dehydrator is $727.00 Canadian. To put that in perspective, I could buy 63lbs of organic dried apple rings from the store - all work done.You'd really have to use that dehydrator alot to justify that price point. I wonder how much the electricity would cost running it for so many hours as well. Many things to consider.

[@stevewahls8434]

Ya but then there is the deer jerky and the fish. Oh and we wouldn’t want to forget the Morel mushrooms and lions mane. I wouldn’t buy one for just apples either.

[@kathrynowens2678]

Just pulled out my 5th batch of dehydrated apples. Can't keep enough for the grandkids. They LOVE them. I don't have a mandolin, but after 40 + years of slicing apples, I can get them pretty even. 😊 We are blessed to have our own honeycrisp apples, and this year is a bumper crop! Yay!

[@lauribell8666]

We’ve been dealing with smoke from all the fires here in northern Nevada as well. Grateful it’s only smoke and we’re safe here. Not so fun to be outside though. I truly enjoy everyone of your videos. Keep’m com’n!

[@kathsch8966]

You inspired me!! I've had an Excaliber dehydrator for several years but only used it a few times & then put it in the closet. I just made some apples but I need to slice them thicker as they were done about 4 hrs. But they were delicious and I ate almost all of them in one evening. Thank you.

[@lincasteel-butler531]

Wow. Anxious to see all 3 side by side and how the outcome is. I have always been a little timid about dehydrators, so this is very interesting. Thank you.

[@naegwut]

I love it when you visit the garden center

[@DH-qz2so]

...also, make sure the dehydrator is placed where there is ventilation all the way around....with the vent being in the back of the new unit, I would caution against tucking it in under a cabinet as then the vent would be pushed back against the wall/backsplash!

[@angieparrish7905]

Beautiful loaf of banana bread. I love the peppers hanging on oven. Maybe you could show how you threaded them and how long it will last.

[@bethanywarner8565]

I dehydrated a bunch of apples last week. I did granny smith for a tarte dried apple and then I did honey crisp with a tad bit of cinnamon and sugar which took a little bit longer to dry.

[@southerngrits920]

We just got 1 bushel of NC apples We frozen 3 bushels of apples last year. My 95 yr old mama loves making apple pies every week. I started playing with the dehydrator last year. I did oranges and apples. I dehydrated banana peels to make a powder to add to my garden soil with blender powdered eggshells.

[@sarahmarti141]

What a great way to make fruit fun to eat and less messy. Next time make Aaron do the coring! Looks like hard work.

[@brodiewritesmusic]

I'd tooootally recommend the Instant Pot Air fryer 6in1! The dehydrator setting is soooo helpful and you get an air fryer too!

[@cathyl4622]

Hey Laura, You can make apple sauce in crock pot or if you want to go further continue apple sauce in crock pot approx 4 more hours for apple butter.

[@heymomma]

I did a giant canning season 5 years ago and took a 5 year hiatus from it as well!! I just tried dehydrating in the oven for the first time. Thanks fir the tutorial!

[@MegaCalimom]

For your circular dehydrators, you can stack more than 4 trays high to expand your drying capacity.

[@robertdseals1]

I sprinkle cinnamon on mine before dehydrating them. I usually also peel them.

[@crystallester4434]

I really enjoyed this one, Laura! You need a Pampered Chef apple peeler/ corer/slicer. It makes short work of apples!

[@bettywhite1705]

My grandchildren's school is Fruitland Elementary in WA state. I believe it was once the site of an apple orchard!

[@ruthdennison4513]

The harvester dehydrator outlasted our need after 35 years we lost our dear friend last year because the plastic became brittle...the little engine never failed....we would recommend this wonderful piece of equipment for any home.

[@mekakick3126]

I have always loved apples. They don't all make it home from the orchard. I usually finish 2 on the ride. I would love to dehydrate some.

[@MarisaAndChew]

[@tangerinefusion1]

When I was a little girl, we would go pick boxes of apples at the apple orchards in NC. We would have apple peeling contest of who could peel the longest strip without breaking it and the taste of a freshly dehydrated apple ring! Yummy! Also my grandmother made the best apple turnover’s I’ve ever eaten! You brought back some fond memories today! Thanks Laura for sharing! ❤️

[@beverleysimmons7885]

[@leeannmillet8215]

My grandkids love apples this what I'm going to try.

[@LizzieDeanMakes]

I sprinkle cinnamon on my apple slices before dehydrating - yummy! I use my dehydrator so much - I dry edible flowers like rose petals, violas and violets, elderflower, dandelions, lavender etc for floral teas, I dry herbs for cooking or herbal teas, I dehydrate fruit, but the best is onion and nettles for making DIY powder base for soups/stews etc - super nutritious sand flavourful - oh and I dry mushroom slices which then store so well and are great on homemade pizzas xx

[@BevMcCrary]

Laura I just gotta say, love you 😂😂 when you were talking about putting the dehydrator on the counter and you just randomly pointed at the peppers 🌶 like “aren’t those pretty” and then back to your original sentence lol, and then the banana bread finishing and you randomly paying attention to that, was just so cute and relatable. You’re my hero! 😰

[@Lynn-kn2iw]

I just purchased one for herbs. I'm so glad you did this video, I didn't know all the things you can do with it. Great video!

[@hjkroeger1]

Happy Autumn. The Honey Crisps look beautiful. My neighbor has about 200 Apple trees and it is wonderful to see them fill up. I was curious you have ever looked into freeze drying. The Harvest Right freeze dryer is so amazing. It is so nice to have all of my garden preserved. I have been freeze drying cherry tomatoes, peaches,carrots and many other things and it is like eating candy. My grandchildren love it!

[@Christom672]

Laura, there is a Kitchen Aid accessory you can buy that attaches to your stand mixer. It peels and cores at the same time and it is super fast. No fearsome mandolin 😊

[@AndeeSaraDesigns]

There's also one that suctions onto your countertop at Bed Bath and Beyond 19.99 "Apple Peeler with Vacuum Base" only thing is it slices to about 1/4 ", not sure if that matters. You can choose for it to peel or not peel the apple. I would imagine it would just take less time to dehydrate. Waaaaaaay faster! 😍😍😍😍😍 Oh my gosh I just saw how thin she's cutting. Yes! These attachments would TOOOOOTALLY make her process faster and more enjoyable! I also use it to peel/slice apples for my toddler.😁😁

[@realizeyourart]

Yep. I mentioned that in my comment. I love my spiralizer attachment. I just used yonighr on a bushel of apples we picked at the orchard

[@Marylu3172]

My hubby is from Fruitland! Your videos make me homesick.

[@doreenowsiany9775]

I have the Nesco American Harvest Dehydrator as well! I have a total of 12 trays that I use for making beef jerky! My whole family loves the jerky I make. I usually make it around Christmas time because then I give it to my family as part of their Christmas presents. I use London broils from Costco (I get 10 London broils at a time when I do make it) & my main ingredients are teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, honey and a bunch of other ingredients & spices that I marinade the meat in for 2 days before I start to dehydrate. It usually takes me about 2 full days (around the clock) to dehydrate all 10 sliced up London broils. As I said my family loves it so much that I have to weigh out each bag (normally everyone gets about 1 lb each) because God forbid someone gets more than someone else.

[@rene6371]

Totally interested in preserving what we grow!!! Love this! I was JUST looking at dehydrators. Really want to see the follow up!

Thank you for such varied content- you guys always create such interesting videos!

[@realizeyourart]

Do you have a Kitchen aide mixer? Get a spiralizer attachment. It is the best for peeling and coring apples within seconds. It is SO worth it. Other attachments I use for potatoes, carrots, zucchini, etc. It is a game changer. Anyone elae use this attachment?

I have been dehydrating for the past two weeks, celery, tomatoes, frozen peas, carrots, corn & green beans (on sale), onions, mushrooms. Haven’t gotten to any apples yet, fires where the orchards are😥. Will be interested on the comparisons. I have the Excalibur so am not into a new dehydrator, but love to hear and learn about different ones. Loved the video.

[@mrscrowley5406]

You can buy more trays for your current dehydrator and Nesco says you can stack up to 20 high. Highly recommend grabbing extras because you can process way more food in the same amount of time.

[@TheFyffejill]

iI sprinkle the apple slices with cinnamon before dehydrating. . .very tasty

[@stacywoodruff4165]

I wish we had a good source for bulk honeycrisps in TX! I dehydrate apples, but I use a peeler/corer/slicer tool instead of a mandolin, because the mandolin is scary. It does it all at once, and you just have to crank the handle. The kids stand around waiting for the freshly peeled skins to come out, and they eat the skins fresh. The things I dehydrate the most are hot Thai peppers and Asian eggplant. The eggplants produce so much, and don’t need to be peeled, so I slice them on the mandolin and marinate them in a spicy Teriyaki sauce for a couple hours (sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, hot pepper flakes, a little liquid smoke). I dehydrate them for about 24 hrs, and they make the best snack for while I study. I use the leftover marinade/sauce for a stir fry, and it works great.

[@askedgeorgia17]

Want one of those dehydrators! Never put a hot dish on a cold counter! Always put a towel or something under them! I had them explode on me.🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@savannahsmiles1797]

Having a cold spell in ID...saw a heap of apples on sale for thanksgiving. Honey crisp. Brain said, dehydrators heat up their space. I have the round presto ones. Got one of those coring/peelers cuz I hate peeling apples. It was so fun to core, peel, drunk and line those trays. Put them on in the basement, and it certainly took the chill off, with heavenly smell results. Dehydrated apples are easily rehydrated for baking in stuff. Also being from ID, ya gotta do potatoes. I found some I missed in my containers, sliced them up, racked them up, and presto...easy peasy food storage. I have rotten memories of canning in HOT weather in my gran's kitchen and it cured me, lol. I will freeze & dehydrate, but canning is too involved for me. I use powdered C, not lemon juice, but whatever works...

[@sandyg8794]

Hi Laura! This was really interesting to watch. I'd be nervous using a mandolin, too. I'm looking forward to the reviews you give for the different dehydrators. Thank you for sharing!

[@cookingroselinintamilrosel3772]

Madam I need Apple

[@TJ-re4ng]

With your old one you can add between 9 to 15 extra trays

[@kathleenturley1561]

I dehydrate all the time. Its a great way to preserve food and prepare for the future. Right now I have peaches and apples in mine. A little hint...dry at a little lower temperature so as to maintain the nutrients that are in the item you are dehydrating. Just takes a little bit longer but worth the nutritional value. Hope to see you in Fruitland sometime as I live in Eagle Idaho. I am also planning on a trip to your family garden shop as well. Hope to run into you! Kathleen FYI...consider an "apple peeler"....not as scary as mandolin. Cores, peels and slices all at once.

[@karenmorse7031]

We bought a dehydrator years ago to make venison jerky. And it’s been sitting in the pantry ever since 😂 it might be time to break it out!

[@dixiegirl999]

I will love to hear about how your new dehydrator does because I need to buy another one myself much bigger than I already have.

[@valeriecharles9582]

I was imagining how yummy that banana bread tastes and smells through the video, because it looks amazing! Do you mind sharing your recipe?

[@MidwestGirl]

The Nesco Dehydrator is a good unit - They last for YEARS and you can stack up to 10-12 trays on one unit (instead of running 2 units). A friend of mine picks them up at Yard/Garage Sales whenever she sees them just to get the extra trays. I have a similar one from another company and it's "okay", but doesn't have the temp controls (which is an important feature). I've been in the market for a bigger one (like the new one you're trying in this video), so I really appreciate all the info you've shared with us today. Looking forward to the reviews of all three after you've had an opportunity to use the one from GS. :D

[@saraho6819]

I love dehydrating what works really good if you got something really sticky to put on dehydrator line your trays with parchment paper it really works miracles
