DRIED APPLES
Dried apples are good snacks and easy to prepare.
Core the apples and cut into medium size pieces or slices. Peel may be
left on the pieces/slices. Spread the pieces
or slices on cookie sheets and place in your oven at a very low temperature (125
to 150 degrees F.) for 6-8 hours.
Remember, it may take up to 10 hours at times and depends in thickness of
pieces/slices. Turn them several times
during drying (check and turn every hour). When done, pack them in
airtight containers and store in a cool dry
location. They can be frozen in small packages just for snacking and you
never have to worry about freshness.
