Homemade apple pastille in the dryer - general principles of preparation
Homemade pastille is made from fresh or boiled fruits. Raw materials are crushed in mashed potatoes or simply knead. You can cook a treat with pieces, with skins. Sometimes apples are simply rubbed with chips and spread in an even layer. Often mixed several types of fruits, add berries. The pastille can be sweetened, but a lot of sugar is undesirable. With it, the workpiece will dry for a long time, but it will turn out softer.
In electric dryers for pastille there are special pallets without holes. The mass is laid evenly on a greased surface. For one pallet of an average dryer, 0.5-0.7 cups of applesauce is enough. Then the tray is installed, turn on the device and cook until completely dry. At a temperature of 37-40 degrees it will take 15-20 hours, depending on the moisture content of the mass and the thickness of the layer.

Silicone film and mat are convenient because they do not require oiling. The pastille is perfectly removed from them. You can also purchase special sheets for dryers. They are silicone, paraflex, teflon.
