Yes! Here’s my recipe for homemade dried peaches: http://dairyfreecooking.about.com/od/kidfriendlymealssnacks/r/driedpeaches.htm
They take about 8 hours in the oven on a very low setting, so I normally do it on a cooler day or at night. My recipe uses honey, but feel free to substitute agave nectar!!!
Have fun!

Put the oven on the lowest setting (mine has a “warm” setting that is 170 or 180 degrees.) Keep the oven door partway open to keep the heat down.

oven on lowest temperature works OK.
Alton Brown states you should use a box fan, and a couple cellulose-based home heater filters, and stack the food in the grooves, and strap it on the blower side, then stick it out a window and turn it on… cool dry is always better for dehydrating that warm dry.
finally there is the sun dried method, if you have a clean, dry, well ventilated area with constant sun exposure.

yes.. use a non stick cookie sheet, or any baking sheet with parchment paper on it.. lightly spray with Pam (very slightly)
and lay out very thin layers of fruit or veggies (like tomato slices) you want to dehydrate and put in oven on warmest heat overnight…
I make dried tomatoes, apple slices and even beef jerky this way….
