Warm cinnamon-dusted apple rings made right in your oven are one of those snacks that feel almost too simple to be this satisfying. Fresh apples get sliced thin, soaked briefly in lemon water to keep their color, then slowly dried at a low temperature until they turn perfectly leathery and chewy. A dusting of cinnamon — and a little nutmeg if you're feeling it — gives every ring a cozy, spiced flavor that makes them taste far more indulgent than they actually are. Store-bought dried fruit snacks can be a minefield when it comes to shared facilities and mystery additives, but this recipe is just fruit, citrus, and spice — nothing more. The low-and-slow bake does all the heavy lifting, and the result is a naturally sweet, wholesome treat that works for lunchboxes, charcuterie boards, or straight off the rack. Let them cool fully before storing and they'll firm up beautifully, keeping well in an airtight container for snacking all week long.

Preheat the oven to 225°F (107°C). Set wire racks on two rimmed baking sheets and set aside.
Stir the lemon juice into the water in a large bowl. Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the cored apples crosswise into rings about 1/8-inch (3mm) thick. Drop each ring into the lemon water as you go to prevent browning.
