Apples are a great food to use in the Zone for meals and snacks. They travel well and keep a long time but I can get bored with just about any food. I love me some cinnamon too so last night I decided to try and make some partially dehydrated cinnamon apples and it turned out not so bad..
I took around 10 apples peeled them then used one of those handheld Corer/slicer tools (couldn't have cost more than $5) and wedged out all of the apples. What you do next is get 2 mixing bowls and fill 1 with water and a few table spoons of lemon juice - this will help keep the apples from browning after they are sliced up. I dipped the apple pieces in the lemon juice and then put them in the other bowl which I used to sprinkle them up with cinnamon. Next I spread the apples out on top of cookie drying racks that I placed on top of cookie sheets to catch any drippings (which there wasn't much if any) and put them in the oven overnight at around 150-175 degrees. I left them in all night while I slept and the results weren't to bad. I think my heat was a little more like 200 so they were drier than I would have liked but still pretty good. They will make great quick snacks and I can keep some with me in the truck in case I have to stop and pickup a protein from some crappy fast food joint....we do what we can.
