Apple Crisps

There's nothing greasy about these chips. Churned out in bagfuls by my father, they're made by dehydrating thinly sliced New Brunswick Cortlands. If you have a dehydrator of your own, you can make chips like this from any variety. Here in Ontario, I go for Galas and Lobos.

If you're thinking about your health these days, these little busters are full of vitamins and fiber. On occasion, Dad even dusts them with cinnamon, a spice that's been found to help balance blood sugar.

You can buy dried fruit snacks in grocery stores, but they are often exorbitantly-priced. Check natural food stores and bulk stores for cheaper chips.

More Fall posts in the pipe. See them soon!

i love these apple bits. When I was little, I used to cook apple bits in the microwave with cinnimon and brown suger. They would end up soft and really gross looking... BUT they tasted amazing. I made a bunch and put them in bags then went around my hood with a wagon of them for sale. 25 cent a bag.

People just gave me the money and told me to eat them myself!
