Baked Apple Chips

I am so sorry for being away for so long.  I get very easily distracted and promise to be better about posting recipes.  I wish there was a better, cooler explanation, but unfortunately it's a combo of being too easily distracted by other "projects."  Food is what I know, and should always stick to.  Not that I have not been cooking, I have!  So here are some recipes that are winners in my family, including my incredibly picky daughter!  

Baked apple chips are so incredibly easy, healthy, and once you eat one, it's really hard to stop!  You can spice them up anyway you want, by adding cinnamon, a sprinkle of brown sugar, or even a little salt for a sweet and salty treat!  Here is the basic recipe, and you add (or don't) what you like best!

Baked Apple Chips

Preheat oven to 200.  Start with 1 apple at a time so they don't brown too quickly.  Thinly slice apple with a mandolin or a very sharp knife, 1/8 of an inch think (or as close to as possible).  Place a cooling rack on a baking sheet, and place apple slices on cooling rack.  Bake for 1 to 1.5 hours until the apples are dried out and crispy.  When you take them out of the oven, quickly and carefully lift from cooling/baking rack, and place on a plate or another cooling rack as they tend to stick if not removed right away.  Once cool, enjoy!
