Have you ever had apple fruits, or any other kind of non-savory chip before? I used to buy natural apple chips from a company called Bare Fruit, but I had to order them, and for the amount that you get, it ended up being slightly pricey.

Apple chips are a healthy crunchy snack that take a bit of time to bake, but are very easy to make. Because one apple shrinks down quite a bit when in the oven, I would suggest making these when apples are on sale and baking a few at a time. I'm surprised it has taken me this long to give it a try!

Ingredients:

• Apple(s)
• Cinnamon
• Optional: Squeeze of lemon

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 225F. Wash and dry the apples and thinly slice them and place them on a parchment paper lined baking sheets. Use multiple baking sheets if you have them, and if you have the space in your oven.
2. Sprinkle Cinnamon overtop of the sliced apples and squeeze a little lemon on top if you wish. I didn't have any lemon at the time, so I just used cinnamon.
3. Place in the oven and bake for an hour, then remove from the oven, turn over the slices and bake for another hour.
4. They will firm up a bit more once they are removed from the oven. 90% of my apple slices came out crispy, but there were a couple that I sliced a bit thicker, so they stayed a bit soft. They were still good though. :)
5. Allow the apple chips to fully cool before storing in an air-tight container. (That is if you aren't going to eat them all in one sitting, as I did ;) I only baked one apple though, to see how they would turn out.)

Try experimenting with different kinds of apples and see which ones you enjoy the best!
