Have you ventured to an apple orchard or the Lenexa Farmers Market this fall and come home with an abundance of locally grown apples? Here are two ways to transform this fall fruit that you might not have tried before: dehydration and baked apples.
Core and thinly cut apples into 1/8-inch slices. Some people like to pre-soak apple slices in lemon juice, vinegar or citric acid to prevent browning. If desired, dust apple slices lightly with cinnamon and or cardamom.
