Apple Crisps
Apple Crisps
Okay, nothing to do with alcohol, but I was wondering if anybody had any experience of baking their own crisps.
I would like to give my daughter a healthy snack and apple crisps seem a great idea.
I know that I would just need to slice them up thinnly and stick them in the oven, but any idea roughly how long and what heat? I guess I would need to pat them dry as well to help stop them sticking together. A nice dusting of cinnamon would certainly help them taste nicer as well
Cheers

To get that crispness (the essential characteristic of a crisp!) you'll need to deep fry them in oil at around 190oC for about a minute. This obviously reduces the overall nutritional value somewhat...
In terms of slicing, a mandolin like this one:

is ideal. Be careful of your fingers though!

Wouldn't a dehydrator do the trick
So that they still are good for you and nutrition has not been baked out
I was thinking about trying this at the weekend as I was pressing apples for apple wine.

I am sure they can be bought cheaper
Edit: indeed they can

Could use it to do hops as well
