Drying apples : snacking ‘garden’

I’ve dried apples in different ways over the years from stringing and hanging to using a dehydrator; this is the simplest: sliced and simply set in front of a window.  Sunny weather and the window being open speeds up the process. I also like the thought of moonlight doing its bit.

I am pleased with how easy and quick and convenient it is to do.

I keep adding as the supply diminishes;  it is interesting to compare degrees of drying; the pleasant taste and crunch of ones semi-dried; the variation in sweetness.

These are all ambrosia apples (my favourite).  I plan to try granny smith and other types of the many apples available.
