Vendor's at the farmers market in Santa Barbara often sell baked apple chips and persimmon chips. However, those are not a very common in Ventura's Farmer market. After seeing a post about apple chips on The Italian Dish blog, I decided to bake them. I absolutely adore The Italian Dish blog and have tried many recipes from the blog. In fact it is my "go-to" blog for italian recipes.
Recipe:
Ingredients:
1 large apple
2 tablespoon brown sugar
3/4 tablespoon cinnamon (I used less cinnamon than suggested by The Italian Dish)
- Preheat oven to 225 F
- Slice apple into thin slices (as thin as possible 15-20 slices per apple)
- Lightly coat the apple slices on both the sides with the sugar and cinnamon mixture
- Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the apple slices on the baking sheet
- Bake for an hour
- After an hour, flip the slices and bake for another hour
- Remove from oven and cool them for some time and store in airtight container.
Variations:
- Make these chips with any fruit e.g. pear, persimmon etc.
- Eliminate brown sugar and cinnamon for a plain apple chips taste
