Spicy Apple Chips

• 5 -10 cored apples, with skin removed (optional)
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon allspice
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground cloves
• 12 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (e.g. Tabasco)
• 1 cup apple cider
• 1 cup boiling water

1. Combine all but the apples in a medium stainless steel pot and stir until sugar is dissolved.
2. Slice the apples as thin as you dare and soak them in spiced syrup for at least 1 hour.
3. Remove apples from syrup with a slotted spoon (allow a few seconds for excess moisture to drip off) and arrange slices in a dehydrator (follow manufacturer's instructions).
4. Dehydrate until preferred crispness, between 6-12 hours.
5. Store in airtight containers.
6. Prep time& yield is based on work with 5 apples-- chip quantity also depends on thickness of slices.
