When the apples are properly dried, they can be stored for several years (so if there&#8217;s a bad apple year next year I also have fruit next year&#8230;it&#8217;s a good year this year so I dry as much as possible). When fresh fruit isn&#8217;t available (typically from February to June), I use only dried fruit. Dried apples are fantastic to eat as they are and are popular with guests as snacks and also a perfect present for family and friends. I eat a home made muesli for breakfast every morning &#8211; large organic oat flakes that I buy in large sacks and I mix with various nuts. I soak a mix of dried fruit (apple, cherry, bilberry, plums, saskatoons etc.) and use them on the muesli.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P1680994.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-9015\" src=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P1680994-167x300.jpg\" alt=\"P1680994\" width=\"167\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P1680994-167x300.jpg 167w, http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P1680994-300x539.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P1680994.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 167px) 100vw, 167px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P1680995.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-9016\" src=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P1680995-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"P1680995\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P1680995-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P1680995.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My first (of many) loads of apples drying over the wood stove!
