Cinnamon Apple Chips


I love plantain chips- that was pretty much all I had going for me when I decided to make these cinnamon apple chips.  We had an abundance of apples after going to the orchard, so I was trying to find a healthier alternative to baking more pies and crumbles. I don't think I loved apples in chip form but they definitely grew on me after testing a few. I really enjoyed the ones that were slightly under baked, as they resembled dried fruit more than anything. That is something I would do again! They were still chewy and the hint of cinnamon really brought out the juices in the apples. Bonus- the house was filled with an amazing fall scent and no candle was required. 

Instructions:
  1. I used 3 apples- Macintosh to be exact
  2. Slice to desired width (next time I would do them all on the thick side as I liked them more dried then crunchy) and spread along parchment lined baking sheet. 
  3. In a separate bowl mix together cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle on both sides of chips.
  4. Bake for about 2 hours on 200 degrees, flip every half hour

Apple Picking

Saturday was a perfect fall day. I woke up to grey, foggy skies and cool weather so we headed out to Pine Farm Orchards for some apple picking. This sweater strangely reminds me of The Nightmare Before Christmas so it was only natural that I wear it for the falliday activity. I paired it with some comfy boyfriend jeans, and although it's not too form-fitting it turned out to be the perfect outfit for the activity. We started off picking some Delicious, Royal Gala, Macintosh, and Spies (for baking), then we headed inside to browse the shop and have warm apple cider and treats in the cafe. Perfect autumn date if you ask me!
