Cinnamon-Lucuma Apple Chips

[Sirova]

These dehydrated apple crips are sweet and delicious. The cinnamon adds spice, and the lucuma add sweet creaminess. This recipe makes about 2 dehydrator trays. Double it to fill a 5 tray dehydrator.

Ingredients
- 6-8 sweet, firm apples
- 1 T powdered cinnamon
- 1 t powdered lucuma

Directions
- Peel and slice the apples into rings. An apple slicer/corer works great for this. Mix the cinnamon and lucuma together.

- Arrange the apple rings on mesh dehydrator trays. Fill a wire mesh type tea ball (or small sieve) with the cinnamon-lucuma mixture. Sprinkle all apples slices evenly and generously.

- Dehydrate at 135 degrees for an hour. The apples are so high in moisture that despite the high temperature, the evaporation process will keep the apples raw.

- After an hour, lower the temperature to 110 and let the apples dry until they no longer show signs of moisture (overnight is good).

- Store in a sealed container. If the container shows signs of condensation, the apples were not dried long enough.

That's sounds and looks really delicious!!! :D

Never had lucuma before, are they easy to find at the health food store or is it most likely to be the item that needs to be order online?

Thanks for sharing!!! Loving it!! :)

Thank you :)

Mmm I've never seen lucuma in stores, but I don't live in New York City of anything ;)
I sell it, and so do a lot of raw food stores. Regular stores though... it would be great if they sold it, but I don't think they do :rolleyes:

Do you only sprinkle on one side of the apple slices.
I love lucuma and use it to flavour pie crusts.

Just one side :)

I made these last night, and let them dehydrate overnight.
WOW are they GOOD!!!!! My kids are wanting to eat them, but I have already claimed them ;)
I keep opening the dehydrator and eating them, I've almost eaten them all, and that would be 6 apples!!!
I used my apple/peeler/corer/slicer and did the rings, I put them in a big bowl and put the Lucuma and Cinnamon on them, then I tossed them around and really coated them, I also put more cinnamon and Lucuma on them than the recipe called for, all I can say is I need to buy more apples!!!!!!

Thank you for all your wonderful recipes, and I also like your website.
