Apricots were quite plentiful this year. I have so many to friends and met new neighbors to share from my tree. There was still so many left so we decided to dry some for snacking later. The girls picked a big bowl full and we washed, sliced and pitted them up for the dehydrator. A quick spray of of coconut oil prevents the fruit from sticking to the screens. Set the dehydrator to 135 degrees F and check them for dryness after a couple hours. Switch the racks from top to bottom to help even the heating and airflow at least once during the drying time. I did it at the 4 hour mark. They looked great at the 6 hour point but not quite there... about 8 hours did it. Your apricots may vary depending on size and moisture content, so check for "doneness" as you go.
