Drying times and textures are pretty similar but each variety has a different flavor when dried. Winesap has a more complex flavor but less sweetness than the others, and I also dried a variety called Gold Rush, which were a little too tart for my tastes. The others, although subtly different, were all candy-sweet and very good. We bought some freeze dried --dried apples at the store and they taste like bland sponge by comparison. I did some Golden Delicious a while back and they were very good too.
