Raw Apple Chips

Pin It Now!

Apple chips are one of the easiest raw food snacks to make, and great for taking on the road. Simply slice apples (you can go vertically for slices or cut cored apples horizontally for apple rings), and place them in a bowl of water with either sea salt, lemon juice, or both, for several minutes. Then remove and place on dehydrator trays. Try to keep from overlapping, as they will dry faster.


Put the dehydrator on a setting of 115* or lower in order to keep your snacks live. They should take a good day or two to dry out. How long you let them go is up to you. A shorter dehydrating time will produce a more leathery fruit snack, and a longer drying time will produce a crispy chip. Either way, they are D-Lish!

Whole Raw Apple Juice

Yum! One of the best things about fall is fresh apples! And one of the ways I love apples best is just the whole, raw apple juice--no refined, pasteurized stuff. Mmmm! The flavor is awesome!

Reported health benefits from apples include improved kidney and liver function, help with arthritis and rheumatism, improved cholesterol levels, and improvement in brain function and memory, due to increased levels of acetylcholine. And don't worry that you are missing out on the fiber--You will still get a fair amount of fiber in the juice. For even more fiber, use the pulp in my next suggested snack--raw apple cranberry bars.
