Apples.

I have had a ton of questions about apples this year so I tried to get this post up as quick as I could. I am elbow deep in a stomach bug right now with three of the four children ill. So, if you have any other questions email me or leave me a comment and I will try to answer it as quickly as possible.


It is apple season around here. And I was given a bunch!




So, I dried some in the dehydrator.


The girls helped me make applesauce....



And this year, I tried making fruit roll ups.

They turned out amazing for a first time effort.

I took my puree that was also my applesauce and spread a thin layer onto my parchment paper (must use microwave safe plastic wrap next time, as it was a little hard to remove). Then I dried it in my oven on the lowest setting until it wasn't sticky anymore. Then I pulled it off the paper and cut it into sections. Then I stored them in an airtight container. They taste wonderfully fresh, are sugar free, and easy to grab and go. A huge success in my book!!! I will be doing this again for sure!!
