Dehydrated Candied Apples
1-2 bushels apples
3 tablespoons Fruit Fresh
1/2-gallon water
4 lb Sugar
Cinnamon to taste and color
Dissolve Fruit Fresh in water. Combine sugar and cinnamon. Core apples. Peeling is not necessary, but can be done if desired. Slice apples in about 1/4-inch thick slices. Dip apple slices in Fruit Fresh mixture and shake off excess moisture. Dip apple slices in combined sugar/cinnamon mixture, coating both sides. Lay on dehydrator trays. Set dehydrator at 135 degrees or "fruit" setting. Dry 12-16 hours (depending on humidity). Should be leathery to brittle.
