TIL a little about how the apple industry works. I had to slice about twice as many apples to make this batch of apple chips. Same size dehydrator.

Why? Because I bought a bag of apples instead of buying individual apples and then put them in a bag.

It turns out, they sell the big apples individually and the small ones get bundled into bags. I never thought about it, but in retrospact, it makes sense. People who are carefully looking over each individual apple can pick and choose, but if you're getting a bag, the consumer is basically just saying "give me whatever ya got".

So, now that I realize it's more time and more apple cores, I'll factor that in when I am comparing prices.
