I think there's a recipe in William Woys Weaver's "America Cooks", which
is actually more about American folk art in re food containers and
utensils than about food. He has a fairly large section on drying as a
fairly common American preservation method for apples, and I'm pretty
sure there's a dried apple pie in there somewhere.

Now it only remains to find the *&@#* thing.
