How to tell when they're done?

The amount of time it takes depends on the water content of the apples, the thickness of the slices, and how well the air is able to circulate around them. When done, the apples should be flexible, like a raisin from a fresh bag; not brittle. Most describe them as leathery with a deep red color, without free water or a tacky feeling. If you want them drier, crispier, that's fine, but you need to dry them at least to the consistency of a raisin, or they won't keep!
