Apple Chips

Fruit Recipes

Preparation Time: 30 minutes

Start to Finish Time: 2.5 hours

Yield: about 30 chips

Tart, firm apples such as 'Granny Smiths' work well in this recipe. Apple chips are great as an eat-from-the-bowl snack or as a garnish for cider-based drinks. (Make a cut in the side of the apple slice before you bake, so that you can attach it to the side of a glass.) Chips may be soft when they come out of the oven, but they'll crisp when the sugar cools.

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 'Granny Smith' apples

Heat oven to 200°. In a large bowl, combine sugar and spices. Slice apples horizontally with a mandoline or sharp knife, very thinly (1/8 inch thick). Remove and discard seeds. Toss apple slices gently but thoroughly in the spice mix; coat well. Arrange in a single layers on rimmed baking sheets lined with parchment or Silpat. Bake about 2 hours, turning every 30 minutes. Cool on wire racks.
