snow white and apple chips!

The snow has been falling all evening. In a fit of productivity and cleaning it occurred to me that I need to make use of the produce I have. Particularly the two granny apples that I have in my fruit bowl. I'm also craving something sweet that won't add 15 pounds to my waist. The result is an attempt at making apple chips. Sounds easy enough, right?

This recipe is courtesy of the PurpleFoodie.com and simple to follow.

Ingredients:

  • 2 apples
  • 2 tbsp of sugar
  • 1/2 of cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp of lemon juice
  • 1 cup of very cold water

Directions:

1. Set the oven at it's lowest setting 170 degrees F.

2. Fill a bowl with the water and lemon.

3. Slice the apples (removed seeds and core), placing the slices immediately into the water-lemon mixture. This will prevent your apples from turning brown.

4. Shake off the excess water and place the apple slices on a baking sheet.

5. Combine the sugar and cinnamon. Then sprinkle the mixture over the slices.



6. Put into the oven and bake for 2 hours. Add an hour as necessary, depending on the width of the slices.
