Festive Dried Apples
Ingredients
- 3 Apples
- 1 tbsp Maple syrup
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Line two baking sheets with baking paper or silicon liners. Pre-heat the oven to 100°C (conventional). Do not use the fan oven option.
- Wash the apples, then carefully slice them horizontally into 3mm thin slices. Use little cookie cutters to cut out the core of each slice. For festive apple rings use a Christmas tree or star cookie cutter. Lay the slices onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Mix together the maple syrup and ground cinnamon, then use a pastry brush to coat the apple slices.
- Put the apples into the pre-heated oven and leave to dry and crisp up for 3 hours, turning now and again to ensure even cooking. Once the apples are dried, turn off the oven and leave the apples in the oven for a further hour.
Notes
- Different apples will cook at different times, if there is a high moisture content the apple chips may take longer to crisp up.
- Store for up to 1 week in an airtight container.
