ANSWER - Leen Jones, Pen Argyl, asked how to dry
apples without using a dehydrator. Thanks go to Florence
Schlicher, Zionsville, for the following response
Dried Apples
If you use sweet apples, do not peel them; only sour
apples should be peeled. Cut apples in eighths and remove
the cores. I cut brown paper bags and use them to cover
my oven racks. Put lower shelf in second notch from
bottom and top shelf two notches above this Cover with
apple slices, some on top of each other, and turn oven to
250 ,;> F Do not close the door tight to allow steam to
escape If door is closed too tightly, apples will bake in
stead of dry Turn apples after about 4 hours They will
stick to the paper Check again in another four hours
