You can peel the mango by scoring it around lengthwise and peeling off both sections, or by attacking it with a potato peeler {which often attacks back so beware}. Cut the fruit into lengthwise slices about 1/4 inch thick. You can do thicker slices if you want chewier fruit, but it will take longer to dehydrate fully. Place your trays into the dehydrator and arrange the mango slices so that they lay flat on the trays. Do not clump the slices together or overlap them because it will take forever to get them dehydrated and they wonât dehydrate evenly. Set your dehydrator to 135 degrees and dehydrate for about 12 hours. If you want them a bit chewier, check them at 10 hours. Store in an air-tight container or Ziploc bag.
The drying time will vary depending on which method you use, the moisture content of the apples, and how thick the apple slices are. Drying apples in a food dehydrator takes between 12 and 24 hours. Drying apples in the oven takes between 10 and 20 hours.The higher the heat, the quicker they will dry; but youâll need to watch them closely and turn the slices often if your heat is higher than 145 degrees Fahrenheit.Drying apples over a wood stove takes about 8 to 14 hours.. Place them single layer on whatever you are going to use to dry them on. We use a screen from a retired food dehydrator. You can use a new, clean window screen or an oven rack covered with cheesecloth. Or if youâre drying your apples in a food dehydrator, place them on the racks of the dehydrator.
