An Apple A Day Keeps the Doctor Away!

"An Apple a day keeps the doctor away!"

We've all heard the saying before, but it can get old eating a plain apple day in and day out. Here is one of my favorite ways to enjoy an apple in a more unique way.

I'm not a huge chip fan, but I am of Apple Chips! 

These are super easy to make and have a decent shelf life (can stay fresh up to two weeks if sealed in tupperware or ziplock bag). These are also great snacks to bring along for road trips, traveling, or an on the go snack in the car. 

Recipe:

1. Preheat oven to 200*F. 

2. Wash apples.

3. You may peel or remove the apple cores (this isn't necessary unless you really want to since the cooking process will make everything edible).

4. Cut the apples into slices. 

5. Sprinkle the apple chips with a cinnamon sugar mix. 

6. Place the apples on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Do not over lap them.

7. Place apples in oven and cook for 90-120 minutes. 

Yum! Snack On..
