I’ve an apple corer and I can by no means get it to go in by way of the stem and out by way of the underside – it all the time goes out barely to the facet of the underside after which I’ve to core my apples twice. And twice-cored apples are usually not as good wanting as once-cored apples.
In any case… I made apple chips final fall and I made a decision to revisit that concept, however with the addition of chai spices – cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and only a pinch of cloves.
As a substitute of baking the apples till they had been crispy, I baked them till they had been delicate and chewy.
As a result of the one descriptor I like greater than spiced is chewy. Chewy isn’t not good! Sure, I stated by no means not!
