- medium bowl
Ingredients
- 2-3 apples washed, dried, and sliced into 1/8 in slices
- 1 cup water
- t tbsp lemon juice

- Store in an airtight container, like a mason jar, and enjoy!
Notes
These homemade dehydrated apples last for about a year stored in an airtight container like a mason jar. It's very important to keep them away from moisture. You can even add a food-safe silica pack to the jar to help keep them fresh. Store the jars in a cool, dark place.
