Ingredients

  • 2 lb apples (choose variety according to taste)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 120 F / 50 C.
  2. Do not peel the apples. Core each apple (without cutting them) with a small sharp knife.
  3. Slice the apples thinly.
  4. Place the apple slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Bake the apples leaving the oven door ajar.
  6. Flip the apple slices regularly.
  7. When some of the water evaporates and the slices begin to dry, raise the temperature of the oven to 160 F / 70 C, after flipping them again.
  8. The drying will be finished when the apple slices cannot easily be bent anymore. The process can take anywhere between 4 and 6 hours.

Notes

  • You can also dry the apple slices using another source of heat, like a heater, or under the sun for example.
