Crispy, sweet and irresistible. Turn your favourite apples into the healthy snack the whole family will love!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n

  • Apples at will (including mixed varieties)<\/p><\/li>\n\n\n\n

  • Lemon juice<\/p><\/li>\n\n\n\n

  • Cinnamon stick (optional)<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Preparation of apple chips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Wash and clean the apples, removing the core and slicing them to a thickness of about 4 mm. If the apples are organic, leave the skin on, as it is rich in vitamins and fibre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To prevent the slices from turning brown, you can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n

    • Dip them briefly in water and lemon juice, or<\/p><\/li>\n\n\n\n

    • Place them directly in the baskets of the dryer once it has been switched on; in this case, oxidation only affects the colour and not the taste.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Dry the slices thoroughly with a clean tea towel and arrange them in the baskets in a single layer, without overlapping them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Drying<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      To obtain perfectly crisp apples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n

      • With Biosec dryer:<\/strong> programme P2<\/strong> until completely dry (approximately 12 hours).<\/p><\/li>\n\n\n\n

      • With other dryers:<\/strong> temperature 50 \u00b0C<\/strong>, until the slices are dry and crispy.<\/p><\/li>\n\n\n\n

      • For a more intense and crunchy texture, you can continue for an extra 1-2 hours.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Storage and flavouring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Put the chips away still warm<\/strong> in an airtight glass or tin jar. Add a cinnamon stick inside for a delicate aroma without overpowering the natural flavour of the apples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Ideas for use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Dried apple chips can be eaten as a snack, added to breakfast, or used as a crunchy topping on yoghurt, porridge or desserts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \ud83d\udca1 Did you know that?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Dried products should be stored still warm<\/strong>. As they no longer contain water, they do not create condensation and, if left to cool in the air, they would risk reabsorbing moisture. By storing them immediately after drying, the crisps retain their crispness and quality for longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        How long does it take to dry apples?<\/strong>
        With Biosec, apple chips take around 12 hours on programme P2 until they are completely dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        How thick should the apples be sliced?<\/strong>
        To make crispy chips, cut the apples into thin slices about 4 mm thick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Do you need lemon to dry apples?<\/strong>
        Lemon helps to slow down oxidation and keep the slices lighter in colour, but any browning mainly affects the colour, not the taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        How should you store dried apple chips?<\/strong>
        The dried apple chips should be stored whilst still warm in an airtight glass or tin jar. This helps them retain their crunch, flavour and quality over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Can you make apple crisps with Biosec?
        <\/strong>Yes. With Biosec, you can make crispy apple chips using programme P2 until they are completely dried, which takes about 12 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
