I am ready to plug back in!  Not only to the computer, but to more mindful eating!  It has been a crazy 2 weeks.  Full of distractions, parties, feasting, playing, socializing, working, and eating.  As fun as it all is, isn’t it nice to be back into a routine again.

Today’s idea is apple chips!  For some kids (and parents) with fruit texture issues… this one is for you.  My flip-flopper does not like cooked fruit, but crunchy or crispy she can handle.  So we sliced up some apples to make into apple chips.

• First boil apple juice with either a cinnamon stick or cinnamon. 
• Then we sliced apples as thinly as possible. (crosswise so the core was in the center.  No need to seed it, they just fall right out)
• Then we boiled the apples in the apple juice till they were somewhat transparent. 
• Then we took the apple slices out of the boiling juice, and patted them dry.
• I laid them on a cookie rack (the kind you cool cookies on) and placed the entire rack in the oven at 250 degrees.
• We baked until they were dry and slightly browned.
• Final product:  Delicious apple chips!! So much tastier than potato chips.
