Apple Rings
From www.5aday.com
| 4 apples |
| 1 tsp lemon juice |
| 3 Tbsp water |
| Sturdy thread or twine |
With the help of an adult, core and slice apples into rings about 1/8" thick. Mix the lemon juice and water in a shallow dish. To prevent discoloring, dip each ring into the lemon-water mixture. String fruit through center of each ring and hang in a dry, warm place. The rings will take about two weeks to dry. When dry, the rings will have a chewy texture. Drying apples helps to preserve their sweetness and nutrients. These make a healthy snack for school and other activities.
