Spicy Apple Chips

Directions

1. 1
   Combine all but the apples in a medium stainless steel pot and stir until sugar is dissolved.
2. 2
   Slice the apples as thin as you dare and soak them in spiced syrup for at least 1 hour.
3. 3
   Remove apples from syrup with a slotted spoon (allow a few seconds for excess moisture to drip off) and arrange slices in a dehydrator (follow manufacturer's instructions).
4. 4
   Dehydrate until preferred crispness, between 6-12 hours.
5. 5
   Store in airtight containers.
6. 6
   Prep time& yield is based on work with 5 apples-- chip quantity also depends on thickness of slices.
