Cinnamon Apple Chips
No need to core the apples since boiling in juice for several minutes softens the core and removes the seeds.
Makes approximately 40 chips
Ingredients:
2 cups unsweetened
apple juice
1 cinnamon stick
2 Red Delicious apples
Method:
In large skillet
or pot, combine apple juice and cinnamon stick; bring to a low boil
while preparing apples.
With
sharp knife, slice off 1/2-inch from top and bottom of apples and
discard (or eat!). Stand apples on either cut end and saw gently crosswise
into very thin (1/8-inch) rings, rotating the apple as necessary to
get even slices.
Drop apple
slices into boiling juice; cook 4 to 5 minutes or until slices appear
translucent and lightly golden. Meanwhile, heat oven to 250 degrees
F.
With slotted
spatula, remove apple slices from juice and pat dry. Arrange slices
on cake-cooling racks, being sure none overlap. Place racks on middle
shelf in oven; bake 30 to 40 minutes until apple slices are lightly
browned and almost dry to touch. Let chips cool on racks completely
before storing in airtight container.
