Dried Apple Rings

One of the most effective ways to keep apples for the winter. also one of the oldest. Understandably they lost their inherent juciness, but oddly they lose all their tartness and most of the sweetness. A dash of sugar and cinnamon balances it out. The texture no longer lightly grainy and crunchy now is chewy like a firm marshmallow.
Oddly, though the rings begin of even thickness, they dry to an uneven thickness making for interesting mouth-feel. An interesting related apple moment below.
