Apple Ring-a-lings

Ingredients

4 Large cooking apples

1/2 tsp Salt

1/2 cup Cider vinegar or white vinegar

2 tsp Crumbled dried thyme or sage

1/2 tsp Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

1Peel apples and remove cores. Cut crosswise into rings about 1/8 inch thick.

2In a shallow dish, combine thyme, salt, pepper and vinegar. Dip apple rings in this mixture, one at a time, shaking off excess.

3Place apple rings on mesh drying trays. Dry at 155°F for about 4 hours or until firm and crisp. Remove from trays, transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 months.
