Today's batch: gold rush

I won't be getting these again for apple chips. They're small and require a lot of prep work as a result. These also seem like they're taking longer to dry out.

There's no way they're going to be so much better that they're worth the extra hassle. But since we have them and aren't going to snack on 10 lbs of apples before they go bad, I'm drying them. Waste not.

So the gold rush were interesting...

After being dried, the peck was slightly smaller in volume, but significantly heavier. They also didn't dry out a much despite being in the dehydrator longer.

Still not going to get these again for drying, but it was an interesting experiment so I thought I'd share the results.

Same response if the heat for the dehydrator was free?

Yes. It was the labor that was the sticking point on this one.

Is that a "crumbly" apple? n those seem like fairly thick slices…

No, not crumbly. I've had requests from others in my household for chewy apple ships instead of crispy ones, so I've been doing 3/8" instead of 1/4" or 1/8".

Side benefit: thicker slices means less work for me.
