Heart Apple Chips
Healthy snacks are an important part of a balanced diet. Daniel Tiger and his friends like to eat healthy snacks and you can too! Go on a tour with Daniel Tiger's neighbor, Thomas, to learn about Making Apple Cider. Then think about all of the ways that you can use apples to make a healthy snack. You can slice them, dip them, bake them, mash them into applesauce and even make them into apple chips.
This fun and healthy apple recipe is perfect for Valentine's Day or any day. Enjoy them yourself or package them as a lovely gift for someone special.
Ingredients
Directions
Gather your supplies
Thinly slice apples (really thin, or you'll be cooking these for HOURS). Lay out your slices and put your kid to work with the heart-shaped cookie cutters. If there isn't too much core or seedy bits, the punched-out hearts can be baked too!
Dip all the slices in some freshly squeezed lemon juice to prevent browning (optional).
Bake the apple slices on some parchment for an hour and 10 minutes in a 250 °F oven. Some of the thicker slices might take a few minutes longer. Once they are lightly browned, pull them out of the oven and let cool. They'll crisp up in no time.
