can you dry apples in a slow cooker?

That's it, really. I've never dried apples before but like them and we have a glut. But I don't want to leave the own on all day but am happy to do so with the slow cooker.

It might work if you can arrange the apple slices on racks and leave the top of the slow-cooker open a little to let the steam out.

I was wondering if grease proof paper layers with holes in it would work. But I think its the oven for me.

Or else chutney and blackberry and apple jam.

I've heard that you can dry apples in the oven, on the lowest possible heat for the longest possible time, maybe IIRC with the oven door slightly open. Worth checking out a proper method for oven drying!

I can't see this working as the slow cooker is a very moist atmosphere, to dry apples I think you need a very low temperature in the oven possible either all day or all night. I'd probably put them in all night.

Good idea for overnight. I'll try that
