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

Delicious Doughnuts

My tiny appreciation for the doughnut, which pretty much begins and ends with the chocolate timbit, is probably because there are so many more interesting and prettier pastries around. However, when I saw this post, and the phrases "foolproof" and "melt in your mouth" in the title, I was definitely intrigued. I decided to make them and found that not only are these the easiest things to make, but when eaten warm, they really do melt in your mouth! I am so glad I stopped to read how simple these heavenly, buttery, sugary nuts of dough really are! Read the original post, or my 4 effortless steps below, and find yourself amazed!!

Ingredients

• 1 package of canned biscuits (I used Pillsbury Grands-not the flaky ones)
• Enough oil to cover your skillet
• Butter
• Sugar
• Cinnamon 

Instructions

1. Separate Grands, and using a water bottle lid cut out the doughnut holes 
2. Heat oil on medium, and place doughnuts and holes in oil until golden 
3. Remove and dip both sides in melted butter
4. Mix sugar and cinnamon together and coat both sides of doughnuts

They probably took all of 10 minutes to prepare and make, and you can pretty much dip, sprinkle or dunk them any which way. Maple nut? Chocolate glaze? Rainbow sprinkle? Go for it.
