Loads of apples again so I'm going to make apple chips. I've done them before but this year I want to try adding sugar and cinnamon.

Apple Chips
·  Peel the apples, if desired. Cut the core out, using the apple corer or a knife.
·  2 
Slice the apples into thin rings between 3/16 inch and 1/4 inch thick.
·  3 
Add 1 tbsp. lemon juice to 1 cup of water in a large, shallow bowl.
·  4 
Dip the apple slices into the water and lemon. This will prevent the apples from turning brown.
·  5 
Pat the excess moisture from the apple rings with paper towels.
·  6 
Lay the apple slices in a single layer in your food dehydrator, according to the manufacturer's directions.
·  7 
Sprinkle the 1 tbsp. cinnamon, apple pie spice mix or sugar on top of the apple rings, if desired.
·  8 
Dehydrate the apple rings for 8 to 10 hours at 135 degrees F, or until they are crispy.

I think I'm going to mix the sugar and cinnamon in a zip lock bag, add some apple slices and toss to coat and then dehydrate.

Original Message last year i canned for the first time. wow, i was nervous.

this year, i'm doing better. i have been canning like mad.

if you'd like, tell us your how's and why's. learning to preserve food is one of the most important skills a person can learn.

if you have a picture of your preserved foods uploaded, let me know and i'll post it for you.
