Dried Apples, yum!

You can eat them right out of the can! Or you can buy them say, at Costco, dried apple slices that come prebagged for WAY more money than buying the #10 cans from the Cannery and having dried apples as part of your food storage. Hmm. Tough decision. Anyway, they're yummy dried for a snack, or to reconstitute apples you simply use equal parts of Dried Apples to boiling water (for example, 2 cups apples to 2 cups boiling water) and let it set at least 5 minutes.

And here's how to make applesauce: Put the 2 cups Dried Apples and 2 cups boiling water in a blender. Ta-da! For spice you can add 3 TB cinnamon heart candies to the mixture before you let it set or try some cinnamon-sugar mixture to it if you like that in your applesauce. Easy peesy lemon squeezy!
