Mix in a bowl the water, vinegar and sugar. Thinly slice the apples on the mandolin and put the slices in a plastic bag with some of the liquido in a way that the slices of apple dont overlay each other and are kept on a single layer. Compress on a vaccum machine until the liquid starts bubling, open the bag imediatelly and slice thinly the apples.
Sweet potato crisps
Blend the sweet potato and water on the thermomix for 3 minutes, strain on a chinnois. Transfer to a pan and cook stirring constantly so it doesnt stick on low heat until it thickens, about 5 minutes. Spread on silpat mats, dehydrate in the oven at100Cfor 1 hour or until dry. Break it into large pieces and keep on dry containers until needed for service. To serve, fry in hot oil at1600Cfor15/20 seconds and dry in plenty paper towels.
