I recently borrowed my mom’s old food dehydrator (made in 1979!) and realized this was a perfect chance to use it. So I sliced up some fruit, set it in the dehydrator, and got back to work. Couldn’t have been much easier.
What a way to enjoy this season of apples! This apple butter could not be any easier. Add sugar and spices to the slices of apples then let the crock pot do the rest. Preserve it to share with friends and to enjoy for months to come.
