I followed the recipe exactly, but my apricot leather turned out too dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

This apricot leather is a bit too tart for my taste, but I think it would be perfect for people who like sour snacks.

This is a great recipe for using up extra apricots. I had a whole bunch that were about to go bad, so I made a batch of apricot leather and it turned out great!
