HAVING FUN WITH DRIED APPLES

Dried apples are an excellent snack right out of the can.

To reconstitute them, use equal parts of Dried Apples to boiling water. For example:

2 Cups dried apples 2 Cups boiling water

Let this stand at least 5 minutes. If you put this mixture through the blender, you will have applesauce. For variety, you may add 3 Tbsp. Cinnamon Heart Candy (or "Red Hots") to the mixture before you let it stand, or try some cinnamon and sugar mix in it.
