basic information
Is it possible to dry apples in an electric oven? As experience has shown, it is possible to achieve a good result in both cases - when drying in a gas or electric oven. Of course, the quality and cooking time will depend on the power of the oven, its condition and how well it has warmed up.
Experts advise using an electric oven, not only because it is more reliable , but it is also much easier to ensure that the air does not become “heavy” from long-term operation in the case of a gas oven.
In addition, an electric stove is a priori safer and more reliable in maintaining a stable fire .
If you are lucky and have an electric oven in your house, keep in mind a few simple rules to properly prepare delicious dried fruits .
An electric oven is good because it allows you to preserve the bulk of nutrients .
For this reason, you can do without full cleaning and not cut out the core of the fruit, leaving it along with the seeds. This will not affect the taste in any way, but will only serve as a benefit in preparing a good base for the future compote.
Baking in foil, paper or a baking bag (bag)
You can bake and fry meat, poultry, fish, vegetables and fruits in foil, paper and a sleeve.
Bake dishes on a baking sheet, in a frying pan or on a wire rack. Before baking, meat, fish or poultry can be lightly boiled, fried on the stove, or baked (fried) raw on its own or with a side dish.
Baking in foil (a sleeve or baking paper) prevents meat, poultry or fish from drying out, keeping the product juicy and tender, since the product is cooked in its own juices. When prepared in this way, the dish turns out to be dietary.
The prepared product is laid out on foil (baking paper) and wrapped in it, while the edges are tightly closed, or placed in a baking sleeve, which is closed on both sides with special devices. If necessary, pierce the baking sleeve in several places with a knife or toothpick.
Then the dish is placed in an oven preheated to 180-200 degrees. Cooking time depends on the size of the meat, poultry or fish, as well as vegetables. Approximate time for baking in foil (paper and baking sleeve): fish - 25-30 minutes, meat - from 40 minutes to 2 hours, poultry - from 30 minutes, vegetables - from 30 minutes.
In order to brown the product or get a crispy crust as a result of this method of cooking, it is necessary to cut the foil (bag or baking paper) at the end of baking and leave the dish in the oven for some more time.
Rules
What is the process of drying apples in an electric oven? The first thing to remember is maintaining the correct temperature . It is advised to gradually increase it so that the apples do not fry or burn. When the required temperature is reached (approximately 60-80 ° C), the stove should be opened slightly .
Thanks to this “ventilation”, excess moisture that evaporates from the pulp will freely come out.
Apples need to be looked after periodically. Every few hours it may be necessary to turn the slices over, stir them slightly so that they do not stick to the surface of the sheet , and achieve an even color.

Step-by-step instruction
How to dry apples in an electric oven? We have already discussed the key principles of preparing apples before drying, and we will not focus much attention on this process. After the chopped apple slices or rings are ready, they need to be placed on a wire rack lined with baking paper ( parchment paper ).
Baking trays are not suitable for this purpose - the dried fruits will be unevenly dried, and drying will take much longer than planned.
to leave the apple skin before drying is a matter of personal preference and the purpose for which you are drying the fruit.
fully peeled are most suitable so that the skin does not scratch and spoil the taste.

Exposure temperature
At what temperature do we dry? The most profitable solution is considered to be a gradual increase in temperature followed by a decrease closer to readiness. First, preheat the oven to 45-50 °C . At this stage of drying, the fruit wilts slightly. Then you can increase the heat to 70-95 ° C and leave for several hours until most of the moisture has evaporated from all the fruit.
At the final stage of drying, the temperature should be lowered again to protect the product from burning .
The apples will reach the desired state and undergo sterilization, which will be evident by a yellowish or brownish tint.

How to determine the readiness of dried fruits?
Take several slices from different parts of the grill, making sure that all the pieces are the same in color and size.
It is important that there is uniform coloring .
If you pre- processed the apples in a solution or blanched them, the dried fruits will be light brown and a little rusty. Otherwise, a delicate light beige color is ideal.
Try bending one of the pieces. Properly prepared dried apples are quite flexible to the touch and do not crumble . Don't worry if the pieces turn out dry and brittle, because they can still be used to make jellies, fruit salads and other dishes.

Recipes
For a dessert option, where the apples will turn out sweet and elastic , stock up on a small supply of sweet syrup - homemade or store-bought (cranberry or any other). Pour the fruit slices into deep containers, leave to soak for a day or a day , and then dry in the oven as usual.
To prepare compotes and jelly, whole pieces of apple are often kept in syrup , in which not only the skin, but also the core is left. The simplest syrup can be prepared by adding a little sugar to boiling water to taste.

Regular oven baking
Baking or frying in the oven without foil (sleeves, baking paper) allows you to get an appetizing crust on the bird or fish and tender, juicy meat inside.
This method of cooking in the oven is necessary when you want to cook chicken or other poultry or large pieces of meat (legs, shoulder blades, thighs) whole. You can also fry meat or poultry by cutting the carcass or piece into pieces. During frying, the product must be repeatedly poured with the released fat or oil.
Cooking time depends on the type and volume of the product being prepared. For example, if you cook a whole chicken, it will take longer to cook than if you cook it cut into pieces. Cooking time for an average-sized chicken is approximately 40-50 minutes; a cut bird can be cooked in 30-40 minutes. You can also cook various dishes in the oven, such as soups and cereals. To do this, you need to use fireproof dishes, such as ceramic pots. Cooking in the oven is akin to simmering in an oven.
