Air Dried Apple Rings

I’ve been trying out all kinds of preserving methods since we have an apple tree now. These dried apple rings were pretty simple you just need a little space to let them dry. I like how the peel looks, but I think I will leave them off next time as I don’t really like the texture of them. Also, I’ve heard of people using cinnamon on dried apples for a different flavor. 
 
You will need: 
Apples
Corer
Salt Water
Rods or string to hang apples
1. Core apples.
2. Slice 1/4″ thick.
(Remove any bad spots.)
3. Submerge apple rings in salt water.
(This keeps them from discoloring.)
4. Hang apples in a warm, dry place. 
They should be ready in 3-5 days.
 
5. When apples are dried place in 175 degree oven for 15 minutes OR in a deep freeze for 2 days. This should kill any bacteria and/or insect eggs on the fruit. 
 
6. Store in airtight container. They should keep for months.
 
*Note: If any condensation appears around the apples they are not dried and should be eaten or left to dry more.

    I made some apple rings like this last week, but didn't know about the tip concerning using the oven for a few minutes. Thanks, great post!

    These look wonderful. We don't have apple trees (much) here on the Gulf Coast where I live. We have plenty of citrus this time of year - satsumas, kumquats and lemons. I want to try drying apples, so I guess I'll have to buy some. I think they'll also look pretty as a garland at Christmas, and with cinnamon . . . Mmmmm, the smell will be fabulous! Thanks for the idea!
