Wash, peel, and chop apples and place them in a medium saucepan.
Add 1/2 cup water and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook about 10 minutes or until soft.
Add granulated sugar and cinnamon and mash. Cook 2-3 more minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally.
Put mixture into a blender and process until smooth.
Pour onto a large baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat (such as Silpat) and spread with a spatula into a thin layer. Bang the pan on the counter a few times to make sure the mixture is evenly distributed.
Bake at 170 degrees (or similar low temperature, depending on your oven) for 2-3 hours, checking every 20-30 minutes, until it’s tacky but doesn’t stick to your finger.
Allow it to cool, then cut into strips (a pizza cutter works well) and roll up. Keep in an airtight container.
Notes
You do not need to peel the apples, extra nutrition if you leave them on! The estimated amount, is approximately 7-9 medium-sized apples. You can simmer on low heat with or without a lid for a similar effect. I added lemon juice and omitted the sugar. I would recommend using a fruit mixture if you want a burst of flavor besides apple. My second recipe came out delicious adding in a few frozen blackberries! I highly recommend a Silpat (silicone sheet) or parchment. You can use a dehydrator as well and time for 12 hours between 117-120 degrees.
