You want to know what V loves more than apples?
(well, usually, yesterday morning not so much – let’s just say there was a battle of the wills)
Apples colored and flavored with Jello – yum!
These dried apple chips only require two ingredients – apples & Jello, and are easily baked in the oven.
This healthy snack is also very fun for the kiddos to help you make & to help you eat!
YAY for easy, don’t worry I got your back in the easy-peasy department.
Great quote moment alert: “It is always the simple that produces the marvelous.” – Amelia Barr
Isn’t that the truth – when you read into something too much or over-think something it always ends very complicated. Amen, Amelia Barr!
Well, I’m keeping it simple today :)
- 3 small apples {I used Red Delicious}
- assorted colors of <em>Jello</em> packets
- Preheat oven to 225° F
- Line 1 baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using an apple corer, core out and discard the center of each apple.
- Slice each apple into uniformly thin slices, about 1/8 inch thick.
- Place onto the prepared baking sheet close together, but not overlapping.
- Sprinkle a very light layer of desired color Jello flavoring on the slices, covering them evenly.
- Bake for 1 hour. After 1 hour, remove pan from oven and using tongs flip over each apple slice. Bake for 1 more hour. Remove from oven, let cool slightly, then transfer to an airtight container (or eat them :) The final texture should be pliable (not crispy).
