Directions
How to Dehydrate Fruit
The first part of this project is to dehydrate the fruit. Slice the oranges and apples into 5 slices each, cutting off the ends. Line them up on a baking sheet (on top of parchment paper if desired) CLOSE but not touching.
Bake for 6-10 hours in the oven at 200 degrees until the oranges are slightly browned around the edges and hard to the touch. The thicker slices will take longer than thinner sliced fruits.
Pour the cranberries into a baking dish over a sheet of parchment paper.
