Day 6 - Apple and Pear Chips

Today while looking around the computer for something for a friend, I found a Martha Stewart recipe for Apple and Pear Chips.

I turned the oven to 200 degrees and assembled what I needed. I used a Royal Gala apple and a Bartlett pear.

I prepared the pan with parchment.

Then I sliced the apple and pear and put the slices on the pan. I ended up with 2 pans of apples and 1 of pear slices. The instructions ask you to dip the fruit slices in sugar and place them on the pan. As I cannot have sugar, I used a little bit of stevia between my fingers to drop on one tray of the apple slices.

Into the oven for 1 hour. Then they needed to be turned and baked for another hour. I really need to stop trying to turn this oven into a convection one. I needed to do each pan separately. The apples got a little over done, but the pears were fine. On tasting, I liked the apples without the sweetener better. These are a promising snack as long as I remember to be patient and do one tray at a time!

The finished apple chips.
