Dried Apple Rings
Drying concentrates an apple's sugar into chewy, naturally-sweet rings that keep for months — no added sugar, no fridge. A quick dip in lemon water keeps them pale, then a few hours in the solar dehydrator does the rest. The classic way to save an autumn glut of apples.

Wash, core and slice
Use firm apples (tart varieties like Granny Smith hold their shape well). Wash and core them, then slice into even rings about 5–7 mm (¼ inch) thick — a mandoline gives the most even cut. Peel or leave the skin on, as you prefer.

Soak the rings for 5 minutes in water with a good squeeze of lemon juice (or ½ tsp citric acid per litre). This keeps them from going brown as they dry. Drain well.

Arrange the rings in a single layer on the trays, not touching. Dry at 55–60 °C (130–140 °F). Apples are about 85 % water — expect 6–12 hours until leathery and pliable, a few hours longer for crisp apple chips.

Ready when the rings are leathery and bend without snapping, with no wet or sticky spots when torn. For crunchy chips, dry a few hours more.

Cool fully, then pack loosely in a jar and shake daily for a week to even out the moisture. Store airtight, away from light — they keep 6–12 months.
