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!

Raw Apple Cranberry Bars

These were wonderful! Mmmm....Okay, I started with the pulp from my raw apple juice, threw that in the food processor with some cranberries, almond meal, a little raw sugar, and some cinnamon. (I probably would have used raw honey or agave nectar, but I was out.)

After blending, I put that in a bowl with some chopped up walnuts, mixed it all together, and spread it out in a 9 x 13 glass pan. I ran some more walnuts and raw sugar together in the food processor, and spread this on top of the mixture for a crumb topping. Then I let it set up a bit overnight in the fridge. This also gives it a chance to let the flavors mingle.

The next morning, I cut the bars into serving sizes and carefully placed the bars on the racks of my dehydrator. I let them dehydrate throughout the day and enjoyed warm apple cranberry bars that evening. The bars kept well throughout the week, and they were a great on-the-go raw snack.
