Because I am someone who is constantly craving sweets, I
have been trying to find healthier snacks. Tonight, I made cinnamon apple
chips, which I found on a web site called Baked by Rachel.
Although these treats are not the most nutritious, they are
a better alternative to candies or pastries. The human body needs natural
sugars provided by fruit, and cinnamon is known for its surprising health
benefits. (For more information about the pros of including cinnamon in your
diet, take a look at this article by Organic Authority.)
Cinnamon apple chips are simple to make, but take a
very long time to bake. First, you slice apples into thin chips and preheat
your oven to 200 degrees. You can use either red or green apples. I used green
apples, which made the snack a little tart.
Mix cinnamon and sugar together in a bowl. For 1 or 2 apples,
you will need ½ teaspoon of cinnamon and ½ tablespoon of sugar. Sprinkle the
sugar and cinnamon mixture over the apple slices and bake for an hour. Once the
hour is over, turn the apples chips and bake for another hour.
Definitely worth the wait, these have been moved to my list
of favorite treats. Hopefully I will be able to stay away from desserts that
have no nutritional value with cinnamon apple chips.
