Food: Apple Chips

Recipe for the Easiest Apple Chips

This recipe is what I (try) to make ahead of time to make shopping trips (less) exhausting, (sort of) more productive, and (a lot) yummier. And if your kids are like mine, they take a bite out of an apple and leave it on the counter. This is what I do with the apple "rejects" without wasting. The bonus is that the kids request them daily!

2-4 apples (we use granny smith if we want tart or Fuji, which is sweeter)

3 tablespoons lemon juice

After cutting into the apples into quarters, slice thinly and place in a bowl with lemon juice to keep from browning. Take out of the lemon juice and place on a greased cookie sheet. You can sprinkle with cinnamon or leave them plain, which is what we do. Place in the oven at 300 degrees for about 15min, till lightly browned.  I tend to get them out before they get totally "crispy" simply because they cannot wait all of 15min. Either way is yummy. Let cool and enjoy.

Here they barely wait for me to take the picture. Explore different variations of the recipe,  here and here.
