The last apple has fallen but I have had a lot of fun finding things to do with all the apples from the tree. One thing that I absolutely enjoy was making dried apples. It is simple and and a great snack. All you need is:
1. Wash and slice the apples. I leave the skin on
2. Place them in a dehydrator if you have one or an oven on low setting will work as well.
3. Leave them and forget about it. I do check occasionally to see how it is going.
4.Takes about two to three days in the dehydrator.
5.Remove place in an airtight container and enjoy.
Mine don't last very long as I can't stay away from them. Warning! these dried apple slices are addictive but they are also a great source of nutrition with lots of minerals, vitamins and natural sugar.
What is your favorite healthy snack?

I love dried apples, I know when I purchase them at the store, they don't last long.

I have a dehydrator which dries the fruit. It works on very low heat and takes about 2 to three days. When done they can be stored in a container and lasts a long time - can't say how log because I always finish them within a few weeks. If using an oven just ensure it is crisp. It all the liquid isn't dried it will get mold.

@Freelanzer Ah, so that was the reason why mine didn't stay good for too long.

I would love to get a dehydrator--this sounds wonderful! I love nuts and we have an old black walnut tree that still gives us plenty of nuts--and I know that nuts are great for you!

Sounds delicious my friend.
I can see why you could not stay away from them.
Bananas are my fav.

I never think to make dried apples when I have a bunch of apples. Usually I make applesauce and a pie

I think of drying apples when I have made all the pies, pie filling, jelly and applesauce I can handle.

You can dry so much with it. I know one person who makes beef jerky.
