NUTTY APPLE BUTTER
Being a New England native, I love apple-picking season. Grab some apples and peanut butter to make your own creamy riff on a PB&J. Of course it's great on a sandwich, but you can dunk sliced fruit or graham crackers in it, too. -Brandie Cranshaw, Rapid City, South Dakota

Tips:
- Choose the Right Apples: For this recipe, it's best to use firm, crisp apples that hold their shape well during baking. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all great options.
- Slice the Apples Thinly: Thinner apple slices will cook more evenly and have a better texture. Aim for slices that are about 1/4 inch thick.
- Toss the Apples in Lemon Juice: This helps to prevent the apples from browning and keeps them from sticking together. You can also use pineapple juice or orange juice if you prefer.
- Use a Generous Amount of Spices: The spices in this recipe are what give the apple chips their delicious flavor. Don't be afraid to add a little extra cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
- Bake the Apple Chips on a Low Temperature: This helps to prevent them from burning and ensures that they dry out evenly. Bake them at 200°F (93°C) for about 2 hours.
- Store the Apple Chips Properly: Once the apple chips are cool, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
This delicious nutty apple snack is a great way to enjoy apples in a new and healthy way. The apple chips are crispy, flavorful, and packed with nutrients.
