Baked Apple Chips

Summary
Summary: XXXX
We are right in the middle of apple picking season, which usually runs from early August until the end of October.
Homemade baked apple chips are a healthy and tasty after-school snack. They can also replace those vending-machine potato chips as your side dish for lunch.
According to the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR), a small apple is only 75 calories and a good source of fiber, vitamin C and antioxidants.
The old adage, “an apple a day keeps the doctor away,” isn’t just an old wives’ tale. Apples are one of the AICR’s Foods that Fight Cancer.
In this recipe, don't peel the apples because the peel contains a third or more of its cancer-fighting phytochemical compounds.
Make a big batch on the weekend and enjoy all week long!
