Homemade Dried Apple Slices

Dried Apple slices made this morning to use up some older apples rather than they go to waste. A simple way to preserve apples. Simple plastic free snacks.

No need to core, just slice apples thinly, remove seeds, pop slices on a tray and place in oven on lowest temp for couple hours. (about 70°C my oven just has a stay warm setting so it went on that). About halfway through I cracked open the oven door to let the moisture out.

While they are drying you can get on with other things, like gardening!

Set a timer so you don’t forget them or you’ll have apple chips!
Cool on cake slice before placing in jar.
I left the skin on mine and they have gone wavy rather than sit flat, but still taste delicious. Only problem is not eating them all at once.
