I found a recipe for slow cooker applesauce that I wanted to try (which is still in the crock pot now, so I have no idea on how that turned out). I wanted to also try to do something with the leftover peels and I found a recipe that essentially candies them.
OH EM GEE, I cannot stop eating these candied apple peels. They are like crack.
I started with this recipe:

Like CRACK, I tell you! Off to eat some more...
