Dehydrated Applesauce
Dehydrated applesauce is the best to have on hand. It is a quick pick-me-up that will give you the energy to power through your day! I absolutely love to put this into my car’s emergency bag! It lasts for months and if you have hot water, you can rehydrate it back into applesauce. I keep this in my emergency bag in the car during the winter months, because if I break down and cannot get help, I have food that I know I can rely on! You can use my recipe for applesauce, or you can just buy some already made from the grocery store. When picking an applesauce, you need to make sure that the sugar content is EXTREMELY low! Apples have a lot of natural sugar, so you do not want to ingest too much extra sugar so that you do not incite hunger even more. Our bodies can use sugar as fuel and in doing so we need to make sure that in an emergency, you do not use all the applesauce as energy immediately leaving our bellies even hungrier! This needs to be able to last for hours in the event of an emergency! This is such a good choice and so easy to make! The product is so yummy that you will have a hard time not eating it all immediately! Happy Baking!

Instructions
  1. Directions with a Dehydrator Pour applesauce into the dehydrator trays so it forms a thin layer.
  2. Put the applesauce into the dehydrator for about 4-6 hours at 135 degrees.
  3. After 4 hours you will want to check it. It should look and feel like a fruit roll up.
  4. My applesauce took 6 hours since I put so much in at one time. You may have to scrape it up, but if you use a metal pie spatula, it should go really quickly and should not cause any issues!
    5. Directions with an Oven
  5. Take a cookie sheet and place parchment paper on top of it. Preheat your oven to 135 degrees.
  6. Lay the applesauce onto the parchment paper in the cookie sheet. You want it to be a thin layer.
  7. Put into oven for about 4-6 hours.
  8. It will look just like a fruit roll up! You should be able to peal it away from the parchment paper once it is fully done!
Recipe Notes

You can use any type of applesauce. You can add fruit. If you add fruit, you should crush it since it will dehydrate much better this way! Let me know how your adventure goes!
