Ingredients for 12 decorations
3 Modì apples
2mm (0.08 inches) of red nylon ribbon
cinnamon sticks
star anise q.s.
Preparation
Wash the apples, cut them horizontally in slices about ½ cm (a fifth of an inch) thick and remove the seeds.
Spread the slices on a baking tray lined with baking paper and let them dry in a hot ( ventilated) oven at 60°C (140°F) for about 3 hours leaving the oven door slightly open with the aid of a wooden spoon.
Make a small hole in the apple slice with a toothpick and put a piece of ribbon through it, make a knot and add a cinnamon stick and a piece of star anise, tie another knot. Repeat for the remaining slices. Your decorations are ready and all that’s left to do is hang them!
