Equipment
- Food Dehydrator, or Oven
- Storage container, such as a mason jar with lid
Ingredients
- Apples
- Cinnamon

Instructions
- Wash and slice the apples into 1/8th inch thick rings or slices.
- Fill the dehydrator trays full of sliced apple, make sure that the slices aren’t overlapping though it is okay if the apples edges are touching.
- Next lightly season the apple slices with cinnamon and nutmeg (optional) if you choose to do so.
- Dry in the dehydrator around 130 to 135 degrees Fahrenheit for 8 to 12 hours or until they are dried to your preference of texture. (If using an oven, bake the apples on 200 degrees Fahrenheit for about 6 hours)
