Dehydrated Peaches Recipe

Loaded with vitamins, dried peaches are a tasty and portable snack. These little morsels are also great in trail mixes, cake batters, chutneys, pies, cobblers, chewy granola bars, or as cupcake decorations and toppings for yogurt or ice cream. Because dehydrated fruit is very nutrient-dense and higher in sugar than the equivalent piece of fresh fruit, be aware of their caloric content if you're following a weight-loss plan or need to keep your sugar in check. The more flavorful the fresh peaches you start out with, the more delicious the dehydrated version will be. For this recipe, you can use freestone or clingstone peaches. As their names indicate, the freestone peaches have a pit that is easily removed, and the clingstone ones need the help of a knife. The latter are most sought after for preserving, dehydrating, canning, and baking as they're sweeter and juicier. But either will yield marvelous results.
