Baked Apple Chips with Cinnamon Sugar

We saw this recipe from Foodlets.com and knew we had to borrow it for our blog.  I know my kiddies always ask me to buy chips whenever we're at the grocery store (that's why I avoid bringing them whenever I can).  While I sometimes give in - most of the time, I rather them not put a bunch of processed crap in their system.

These apple chips are easy to make, will make your house smell delicious and actually good for them.

 BAKED APPLE CHIPS WITH CINNAMON SUGAR

Ingredients

• 2 apples (golden delicious, gala or other fall baking apples are best)
• 2 teaspoons powdered sugar
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon sugar

Instructions
Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
Wash and slice apples horizontally, using a mandolin if possible. Don’t bother coring, just remove any pieces of seeds.
On a baking sheet lined with a non-stick sheet such as Silpat, or parchment paper, sprinkle powdered sugar in a very thin, even layer. Line up apple slices, side by side as closely as they’ll fit in. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top. Place in the warm oven for at least 90 minutes, rotating once halfway through. For sweeter and chewier apples, remove at this point. For crispier apples with a more toasted flavor, cook for the full 2 hours.
Note: the “chips” may not be crispy to the touch when you first remove them from the oven. Remove them from the baking sheet and allow to cool on a wire rack or counter space. They’ll crisp up a bit here. Also, the thicker you slice the apples, the chewier the result.
