Oven-Dried Apple Rings
As a mom, I’m always on the lookout for healthy snacks. I swear I’ve spent countless hours reading, researching, and scouring the local stores trying to find something that wasn’t packed full of sugar and other words that I can’t even pronounce.
One day, I got tired of it all and decided that it couldn’t be that hard to make my own snacks for our kids. Lo and behold, I was right! These Oven-Dried Apple Rings are literally just two ingredients and are always a hit with my kiddos when I make them!
The key to this recipe is to make certain to choose an apple that is already naturally sweet. That way, you don’t have to add anything to it to bring out those flavors because that part is already built right into that super sweet and juicy apple.
Once you find that apple of your choice, you let the oven do its magic. With a little patience, you’ll have the most amazing tasting oven-dried apple rings that’ll send your taste buds into overdrive. And your kiddos will love them so much, they may actually start requesting them on a consistent basis!
