Using Dried Apples for Cooking, Snacks and Storage

Dried apples are great for food storage because they can be eaten as a healthy snack, they can be rehydrated for use in pies or other apple dishes, and rehydrated apples can also be blended up to make applesauce. 

Dried Apples are a Convenient Healty Snack

Dried apples can be stored for years, they are easy to carry in a ziplock bag or other similar package and are not messy You can use dehydrated apples in trail mixes or eat them by themselves. Their convenience makes them ideal foods to take on road trips and hiking and they taste great.

Using Dried Apples in Recipes

If you need apples in a recipe, use approximatly one half the measurment called for in the recipe of dried apples.  Add the original amount called for of boiling water over the dehydrated apples and let them stand until rehydrated.  For example, if your recipe calls for two cups of apples, you would use one cup of dehydrated apples and two cups of boiling water.  Once rehydrated, the apples will have more volume and you may need to adjust the amount of apples used  to get the proper amount required by the recipe.  The apples will be ready to use in your recipe.


Making Applesauce From Dried Apples

This is an easy way to make fresh applesauce from stored apples - it is much simpler than peeling, coring, and slicing up a bunch of apples!  First, rehydrate your apples as directed in the previous section on Using Dried Apples in Recipes.  Then put your rehydrated apple mixture in your blender or food processor and blend until smooth.  add any additional fruits or other flavors to experiment with different applesauces.  Different varieties of apples will make very different tasting applesauces.

Dried apples can be obtained at many retailers, preparedness supply stores, or you can even dehydrate your own apples at home using a food dehydrator.

 

I spend too much time on the computer, but luckily it is rewarding.
