10 Delicious Apple Recipes

Since I live in Washington state, it’s probably no surprise to you that I love apples. Before I moved here, I actually had no idea there were so many types. I was kind of an apple lover before, so I had my favorites (Honey Crisp, of course) but there are so many varieties in the fall here that you could almost have an entire store devoted to selling them as they take over a large portion of the produce section. Since we are so apple crazy here in Washington, it means I can get GREAT savings on apples. I usually buy a lot when they are on sale and get crazy in the kitchen as well as preserve them for later. If you are looking for a fun way to preserve apples and some delicious apple recipes, you have come to the right place.

How to Make Apple Chips in an Oven

Making apple chips in a dehydrator is pretty easy and straight-forward, but what if you don’t have one? Apple chips are an easy and delicious snack to make out of a good apple harvest. To make them in an oven, first decide if you want them super crispy or a bit chewy. For chewy ones, cut the apples a bit thicker, for crispy, you will need them very thin. A mandolin works the best for slicing uniform slices for this. Cut up the desired amount of apples, making sure to remove any stems and seeds and mix them in a bowls with some cinnamon and nutmeg to taste. Don’t get too carried away as it will intensify as the apples dry out. Pre-heat oven to the lowest setting on your oven such as 225. Lay the apples on a single layer on a non-stick cookie sheet and bake for 40 minutes to 1 hour. They are done when they curl on the ends and brown up a little. Store them in zipper style bags. Apple Chips make a delicious addition to trail mix like this Apple Cinnamon Trail Mix Recipe.
