Apple Rings ..... mmmm they smell so good!

Still picking apples from our neighbors tree.... I made these great apple rings, I just cored and sliced them, sprinkled them with cinnamon and put in the oven at lowest setting. I turned them a few times for a few hours. The house smelled so good. These taste good too! I'm going to make another batch for eating and slice them thinner.
