Cinnamon Apple Chips

Ingredients:
2 cups unsweetened apple juice
1 cinnamon stick
2 Red Delicious apples

Directions:
In large skillet or pot, combine apple juice and cinnamon stick; bring to a low boil while preparing apples.

With sharp knife, slice off 1/ 2 inch from top and bottom of apples and discard. Stand apples on either cut end and gently slice crosswise into very thin (1/8 inch) rings, rotating the apple as necessary to get even slices. Drop apple slices into boiling juice; cook 4 to 5 minutes until apple slices appear translucent and lightly golden.

Meanwhile, heat oven to 250-degrees. With slotted spatula, remove apple slices from juice and pat dry. Arrange slices on cake-cooling racks, being sure none overlap. With pot holder (rack will become hot from chips) place racks on middle shelf in oven; bake 30 to 40 minutes until apple slices are lightly browned and almost dry to touch. Let chips completely cool on racks before storing in airtight container.

Makes 2 servings.
