Apple chips, a big hit!

For a different snack this week I made delicious oven baked apple chips and they were a bit hit with everyone in the Knowles family! They were also really easy to make and my house smelled like apples and cinnamon the whole day.

Apple Chips

2 large apples, cored 

2 T. sugar (optional, I only used 1 T)

1 t. cinnamon

canola oil spray

Preheat oven to 200 degrees.

Thinly slice apples crosswise about 1/8-inch (2 mm) thick with a mandoline or sharp knife.  Arrange apple slices in a single layer on two parchment-lined rimmed baking sheets, and spray with canola oil cooking spray.

If using sugar, combine in a small bowl with cinnamon.  Put mixture into a sieve and sprinkle evenly over apple slices.

Bake in the top and bottom third of the oven until apples are dry and crisp, about 2 hours (most of mine were crisp at 2 hours, a few I flipped over and put back in for 15 more minutes).  Remove from oven and let chips cool completely before transferring to a sealed container for up to 3 days.  Makes about 2 cups of apple chips.

We love getting apples at Harner Farm, here in State College. The girls love apples and this was a new way for them to enjoy them.
