Step-by-Step Instructions:
Prepare the Fruit:
Wash and dry the fruits thoroughly.
Peel the fruits if desired, and remove any stems, seeds, or cores.
Slice the fruits into uniform slices or pieces, approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. This ensures even drying.
Arrange the Fruit in the Air Fryer Basket:
Dehydrate the Fruit:
Place the fruit-filled air fryer basket or dehydrating tray in the preheated air fryer.
Dehydrate the fruit at the lowest temperature setting for 2-4 hours, depending on the type of fruit and desired dryness. Check the fruit periodically and rotate the trays if necessary for even drying.
Check for Doneness:
The fruit is done when it is dry to the touch and has a leathery texture. It should bend without breaking.
Some fruits may take longer to dehydrate fully, so continue dehydrating as needed until they reach the desired consistency.
Cool and Store:
Once the fruit is fully dehydrated, remove it from the air fryer and let it cool completely.
Store the dehydrated fruit in an airtight container or resealable bags at room temperature. Properly dried fruit can last for several weeks to months when stored in a cool, dry place.
Enjoy Your Dehydrated Fruit:
Enjoy the dehydrated fruit as a healthy snack, add it to cereal, oatmeal, or trail mix, or use it as a flavorful topping for yogurt or desserts.
