Ingredients

  • 8 cups chopped apples (if you have a high-powered blender, just leave them unpeeled)
  • 1 cup spiced apple cider
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Tools

  • Cutting board
  • Food processor or blender
  • Large pot
  • Silicone baking mat or microwave-safe plastic wrap
  • Approx 12×17 inch baking sheet
  • Kitchen shears, knife, or pizza cutter

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 170° F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or microwave-safe plastic wrap.
  2. Combine the apples, apple cider, and cinnamon in a large pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer until the apples are soft.
  3. Puree the mixture in a blender and pour onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently shake the baking sheet to spread out the fruit puree.
  4. Bake until the fruit is mostly dried out, but still a little sticky.
  5. Cool completely and then cut into strips. Store in a tightly sealed container.
