Easy Cinnamon Apple Crisps
Who doesn’t think of apples when they think about Fall? Did you know the only apple indigenous to the US is the crab apple? Sweet, tart, crisp, and juicy, what more is there to love about this fruit?
October is National Apple Month. Enjoying in-season produce can be beneficial to a budget and to taste. Apples are filled with antioxidants and soluble fiber. There are several different varieties of apples. Red Delicious, Gala, Fuji, Granny Smith and Honeycrisp- to name a few. Each variety offers it’s own unique flavor, sweetness, crisp and moisture content.
Here’s a simple recipe for those spare apples you have on the counter.
All you need for this recipe are 3 pounds of apples (about 6 medium-sized apples)
and cinnamon.
Preheat oven to 200 ℉. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside. Wash and dry the apples. Leaving the skins on, use a mandoline, slice apples as thin as possible. Remove seeds. Place apples on the baking sheet in a single layer and not touching each other. Sprinkle cinnamon evenly over apple slices. Bake for approximately 1 hour and then turn each slice over, and continue to bake for at least another hour so.
*If you like crispier apples, bake for 15-20 additional minutes.
Tips:
- Cinnamon apple crisps can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
- Enjoy in your Greek yogurt, oatmeal, or as a topping for salads.
Enjoy.
