2) wash, peel skin (not to peel if using organic apple, remove core, slice into 2mm thickness

3) soak the cut apple in the salt water for few seconds

4) drain away the salt water and pat dry the apple with kitchen towel (can skip this if no kitchen towel)

5) lay all the apple slices on the rack, do not over lay them

6) set temperature 50-60'C, on the fan for 8 - 24 hours (depending on the moisture in the fruit)

7) after the apple slices are dried, the texture of the dried apple is chewy
