How to dry apples for the winter

Drying is one of the ways to harvest apples for the winter, which allows you to save vitamins and useful trace elements in them. Everyone knows about the benefits of the so-called "dryers", but, nevertheless, not everyone still knows how to properly dry apples at home. And this can be done in several ways: in the microwave, over a gas burner, in an electric dryer, in the sun, but most often apples are dried in the oven.

What apples can be dried

Not all varieties of apples are suitable for drying - this is the first thing to consider before drying apples. The fruits of Antonovka, Titovka, Borovik, Aport, Anis and Slavyanka are usually dried in the oven. But this does not mean that other varieties are not suitable for drying. If summer sweet varieties or carrion are used, then before drying, the apples are peeled.

At what temperature to dry apples

Drying apples in modern kitchen appliances, such as a fruit dryer, is a real pleasure. Everything is optimally calculated in them: temperature, humidity, and even duration. If the apples are dried in the oven, then for the first 30 minutes it is necessary to set the temperature to 80 ° C, then to 70 ° C, and when most of the moisture has evaporated from the apples, the temperature is reduced to 50 ° C.
