The fall apples at the Cadillac Farmer's Market has really been great. I bought a half bushel of Gala apples and wanted to share them with my daughter in Kotzebue, Alaska. I decide to try dehydrating them to make apple "leathers". The maker of my dehydrator sells some chemicals for pre-treatment. I decided to simply soak the slice in a solution of citric acid for 5 minutes. It should help keep the slices from turning brown.
I did not core the apples, simply sliced them. Seeds fell out by themselves while I was slicing. It took about 15 hours at 135 degrees to get the results shown below.
They taste great and you can tell they were made with Gala apples.
