Using a spatula, place the apple slices in the compartments of an electric dehydrator, covered with transparent liners. Dry for 3 hours at 60°C in fan mode.

Step 5

The dried apple jam is ready. Place the slices in airtight containers suitable for food storage.

The history of dried jam

It is believed that the luxurious apple dessert, known as dry jam, was first created by the Swiss pastry chef Bailli for Catherine the Great in 1787, when he broke his leg while traveling through Little Russia with the empress. However, historians claim this is not entirely true, and that the foreign pastry chef simply popularized a long-known recipe. In any case, it is a wonderful example of a traditional dessert that is well worth trying.
