Food

I am Gluten Free. Not by choice, believe me. But that is the way it is and I am dealing with it. 

I experiment a lot with different foods to keep things interesting for me. 

I hope that the recipes I post will not only be Gluten Free, but palatable and healthy!

I'm not sure about you, but I tire quickly of seasonal fruits. It is difficult when you go into the grocery store and the options are limited. I try to make things interesting when it comes to getting my serves of fruit during the winter months, when the fruit isn't too exciting.

So today I made some DELISH apple chips, and I couldn't help but share my recipe! It was incredibly simple and extremely tasty and even better, it's healthy! I shared the spoils of my cooking with some of the high school students here and they LOVED them. It has been requested that I make a larger batch on Sunday. If that doesn't say enough, then I don't know what will!

So here it is! Knock yourself out!

Spicy Apple Chips

Ingredients

• 2 large apples
• Cinnamon

Method 

• First, preheat the oven to 130 degrees Celsius. Line a large tray (you may need two, depending on how large the apples are, and how far apart you place each slice) with baking paper.  
• Thinly slice the apple (about 2mm is perfect), slicing from top to bottom.  
• Once both apples are cut into thin slices, lay them out on the baking paper, leaving a little room for air flow between each slice.  
• Dust each slice with Cinnamon.
• Place the tray in the oven and leave for 1 hour.  Remove the tray and flip the chips so they cook evenly. 
• Check the chips every 20 minutes after the first hour. If you are using a convection oven, it will take less time for them to go crunchy, so keep an eye on those baby’s. Today I used a convection oven, and it took 1 hour 40 minutes to cook fully. I estimate 2 hours without a convection oven.

You can eat these hot or cold, they are delicious either way! 

Store in an airtight container. Don't worry about an expiry date; you won't be able to hold back!
