Sweet Apple Slices make the perfect autumn (fall) snack when apples are plentiful and, if like me you have an apple tree, you will be actively looking for recipes to make the most of your seasonal produce. Of course, apples are available all year round so you can enjoy these tasty snacks year round too.
This recipe came about through a search for sweet apple recipes, the recipe for Cinnamon Apple Chips that I found looked good, but the apple slices were dipped in sugar syrup and I felt that they didn’t really need that much sugar. So I set about creating my own less sweet version of the recipe.
The apple slices are crisp at the edges but still slightly soft in the middle with a thin layer of caramelised sugar on top. I ate them straight away and they were really good, the apple flavour was intensified by the heat and caramelisation. I don’t think they would keep very long, but then again I seriously don’t think they will last long as they are so good as well as looking really pretty.

Oh wow. These look amazing. I think there must be a baking thin fruit and veg bug going around this week. I love them. I love that you've entered RR and you are totally forgiven with these beauties. PLUS. Guess what arrived in the post today… A crockpot slow cooker!!!
Christian Halfmann says
They really sound like a good idea. Hm … about slow cooker … I don't know much about it.

Choclette says
Ooh, this reminds me that I need to unearth our dehydrator from wherever we put it after the move. We still have a shocking number of boxes and other stuff cluttering up the garage. I’d love to try these in the dehydrator. They look so good and so pretty too.
Janice Pattie says
That’s a great idea. They are really nice and easy to make.
Fern says
They were delicious!!! Super easy and quick to make. I still haven’t figured out the best sugar sprinkling technique. They were all gone in seconds mostly eaten by me.
I will definitely cook it again.
Janice Pattie says
Thanks, Fern. I think I ate most of mine straight away too! I have a little sugar duster, but a tea strainer or a sieve is quite good for distribution of the sugar.
