Apple Chips

Our family goes through phases with food.  We like a food, buy a lot of it, eat a lot of it, buy more of it, eat more of it, buy even more of it, get tired of it, and then we are left with a bunch of food we are not quite willing to eat any more.

This happened this week with apples.  My kids were tired of apples, yet we still had three apples that were going to go bad if someone didn't eat them.  Then I saw a Pintrest post that solved my issue:  Apple Chips!

So I sliced up the apples very thin, pre-heated the oven to 200°F, sprinkled them with a cinnamon-sugar mixture, and baked them for two hours.  They'll keep for a week in an air-tight container, but they won't be hanging around that long in my house.

This is definitely a healthy alternative to candy and chips, and I can make them while the boys are at school and have them ready when they get home.  WIN!

APPLE CHIPS

Ingredients:

- Apples

- Cinnamon

- Sugar

1. Pre-heat the oven to 200°F.

2. Core apples if you wish.  Slice them very thin.

3. Mix equal parts cinnamon and sugar in a small dish.

4. Sprinkle apple slices with mixture.  Flip and repeat on the other side.

5. Bake for two hours or until the slices take on your preferred level of dehydration.  (I like mine slightly crispy)
*I also decided to flip the chips 90 minutes in to help them dry a bit more.
