Recipe: Baked Apple Crisps

10/29/2014

Apples are one of my favorite fall foods. There are so many uses for them, that I rarely find myself eating an apple plain. I've always loved different types of apple chips as a healthy snack through the day. Making my own took no time at all - and they last for a day or two afterwards in an airtight container.

Serves: 1-2

Ingredients:

Picture
  • 1 golden apple
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • vanilla extract
  • cinnamon (optional)

Let's Get Started!

Picture
1. Slice the apple into thin slices.

2. Soak the slices in a bowl with the water, sugar, cinnamon (if used), and vanilla extract for ~15 min. 
Picture
3. Lay the apple slices on a cooling rack. I had to do this process twice in a toaster oven.
Picture
4. Bake at 350F for 30 min on the middle rack. Turn off the heat and let the apple slices sit in the oven for ~10 min without heat.

And You're Done!

Although Halloween is not my most favorite holiday of the year (it always seems to stand between me and my Christmas music & decorations), I always get a small pumpkin every year to decorate. To try something new, this year, I experimented with some fabric stickers I had laying around. I think it turned out super cute - I'm definitely keeping it past Halloween to serve as fall decor. 

Materials:

Let's Get Started!

Picture
1. Cut a strip of fabric sticker the width of a section between two ribs.
Picture
2. Smooth the sticker onto the section and trace the ribs onto the fabric.
Picture
3. Cut the fabric sticker and smooth onto the pumpkin.
Picture
4. Continue with the other pieces of fabric sticker around the pumpkin, every other section.

And You're Done!
