Baked Apple Chips with a light cinnamon sugar dusting, a great sweet treat when your craving a sweet treat!
Well the weather is finally beautiful around here, in fact I am sitting in my house right now as I right this with the windows open and a cool breeze gently coming in. HEAVEN!
Tomorrow we plan on going to the pumpkin patch by our house. They have tons of pumpkins in all different sizes, a chili cook off, pony rides, and inflatables for the kiddos. Personally I just can’t wait to put Cason in the middle of the pumpkins and take pictures! Yippee! I mean really kids are so cute surrounded by a bunch of squash, right? 🙂
With all the fall festivities I thought I would whip up some fall inspired snacks.
I saw a couple of friends of mine post recipes on baked apple chips and I wanted to give them a try. When I saw the pictures and recipes I thought that they would be crunchy like a chip, but they actually tasted more like dehydrated apples. The slight hint of the cinnamon sugar mixture placed on top was a perfect sweet addition to these apple chips.
To get started, preheat oven to 200º. Core 3 small gala apples using an apple corer and thinly slice.
Place apples on baking sheet with silicone mat or wax paper underneath for easy cleanup.
Mix 1 Tablespoon of sugar with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Sprinkle the top of the apples with the cinnamon sugar mixture. {keep in mind you do not have to use all of it, I also only dusted one side}
Bake fore 1 hour. Flip apples over.
Bake for an additional hour. Remove from oven and let rest. Serve when ready.
