Ripe red apples
1/4 c. lemon juice and 1 tsp. ascorbic acid - per 2 c. cold water
Wooden embroidery hoop
Cinnamon sticks
Ribbon for bow

Do not peel apples, but do core, cut (slice) 1/8 inch thick. Let the slices fall into cold water to prevent rusting. Slice crosswise so you end up with a donut like piece of apple.

Drain thoroughly. Spread out on cookie sheet and put in 140 degree oven. Turn once in awhile. Dry until fairly firm. Choose size of wooden embroidery hoop desired and glue apple slices to edge of hoop using hot glue gun or tacky craft glue. Arrange a bow or other decoration and glue on. Garnish with cinnamon sticks as desired.
