- 1 quart (950 mL) water
- Use a knife or mandolin slicer to cut apples into thin and even slices about 1/4 inch (6 mm).
- Soak the slices in the lemon juice and water mixture about 5 minutes for to prevent browning.
- Remove liquid from apple slices, and then arrange apple rings on dehydrator trays without touching each other to create air circulation. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon.
