That is EXACTLY why I got the dehydrator. I hated how everything dehydrated at the store has sugar in it. I also hated their limited selection, as some of the stuff they don't offer (dried pears, dried pineapple) are amazing.
When I learned once I had one with a variable temp like the Excalibur is that different temperatures product different results, and you can end up with something much better than the store has. My cinnamon apple chips are as crunchy as any potato chip you will eat, its delicious.
Just ordered the dehydrator. Send me any and all recipes! Or is it just as simple as slicing the fruit and putting it in the drawers? I know that there are some variations I've seen at Trader Joe's of dried fruit... Like the Spicy Chili Dried Mangos. I've never had them though. I'm excited to try out jerky as well.
