Food dehydrators work perfectly.

I concur. Dehydrators work great. I have the Open Country Food Dehydrator & Jerky Maker. 60$ but a great little machine.

If all else fails, and your broke Hit your local grocery and get you one of these like 7$. Air dry your fruits a bit, then put them in a Damp-Rid chamber. Find it with the Search Engine.

Dunno bout the Dehumidifier sorry bro

Funny everyone keeps ignoring his question.
I would assume that a dehumidifier would work really well for drying as all that's really needed to get them cracker dry is very low humidity. Hence why a desiccant chamber works.
I say go for it since you have one. I've thought about getting one myself but they are just too expensive compared to a dehydrator.

Well, considering that a dehumidifier lowers humidity and your problem is high humidity then it will definitely help. I would use it in the smallest closed area possible, such as a small closet and stick your fan in there with it and dry normally.
I've done this before and it's lowered my humidity to 26% and temps were 95-100 F.
