Don’t waste the best part of the apple. Make apple chips by tossing the skins with 1 tablespoon each sugar & cinnamon. Bake at 350˚F for 20 minutes, or until dried & crispy, tossing occasionally to avoid burning.

Healthy Hint
If you use sweet apples like Gala, Red Delicious or Winesap & you probably won’t need to add any sugar at all.

Save on baby food if you have a little one at home. Use the same recipe with a mixture of apples & pears. Omit cinnamon. Cook till tender in step 1, about 12 minutes. Purée in a blender.
