Fall Recipes: Apple Chips

As fall is coming, I thought this would be a great recipe to share. The apples get nice and crunchy, you don't need any sugar... a little cinnamon is nice, if you child likes that flavor but they are good without as well.

1. Preheat oven to 200.
2. Core the apple and slice thinly (if you have a mandolin this would be a great time to use it!).
   *If you think it will take you a while to slice the apples, or if you are doing a large batch of apples prepare a bowl with water and lemon juice to stop them from browning, about 1T. lemon juice to 1 c. water works. Just make sure to shake off the excess liquid before putting them on the sheet trays 
3. Put the apple slices on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper or a silpat.
4. Sprinkle with cinnamon (opt.)
5. Bake for about 2 hrs. (flip after 1 hr.)
   *Depending on how thick/thin you slice them it might take a bit more or less time. I'd suggest checking on them periodically, especially towards the end of the 2 hrs.

These get nice and crisp, but you could pull them out a bit earlier if you'd like them to be a bit chewy. Store them in an airtight container or ziploc bag.
