Fall and winter often mark the beginning of the baking season. Who wants to crank up the oven when it’s 80 degrees outside? This simple recipe is a tasty treat enjoyed by all. They make great gifts in a cute cookie tin. Any apple works well, so grab a basket at the store or farmers’ market and bake away.
If you don’t have a Mandolin for cutting fruits and veggies, I highly recommend picking one up. Readily available wherever cooking supplies are sold but beware! Extremely sharp-USE the handguard! Using the blade for thin slicing, you can start a few slices by hand, turn the apple over and run a few more slices so that there are now two flat sides. Use the handguard for the rest, slicing over a large bowl.
Ingredients: Apples
Cinnamon *(can use nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice mix)
Splenda sugar substitute

Directions:
Place a sheet of parchment paper over a cookie sheet pan.
Spread sliced apples onto parchment paper and sprinkle with cinnamon and Splenda.
Turn slices over and repeat.

When all are dry and crisp remove from oven and allow to cool. Store in a Ziplock bag or an airtight cookie tin. Enjoy!
