image & recipe @yummly.com / big girls, small kitchen

Makes about 3 dozen chips
Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons confectioners sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 Granny Smith apple (or other tart, sweet variety

Method:
  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar and spices until combined. Using a fork or a sieve, dust the baking sheet with half of the sugar mixture.
  3. Cut the apple into 4 large pieces around the core. Discard the core. Cut the apple quarters into thin, 1/16 inch thick slices (use a mandolin if you have one). Arrange on the baking sheet in even layers. Dust the apples with the remaining sugar mixture.
  4. Bake in the oven for 1 ½ hours, until the slices have shrunk and become golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet. Carefully remove the slices from the parchment paper.
    *Serve as finger food, or an elegant topping to an Autumn salad.
