There is something about Fall that says Apples.
Maybe it is my little girl memories of celebrating Johnny Appleseed Day or all the apples available in the markets.
I live in Southern California and our mountains have apple picking days that draw huge crowds. It is a lot of fun to bring your family for the festivities, along with indulging apple pie.
My four yummy recipes are not only easy to make but will become your family favorites.
Watch the How-to tutorial and then you will be inspired to get baking. Our mug cake is made in a microwave and quick apple cake in a crock pot.

1 egg
1 Tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 Tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
3 Tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

How to Make Apple Chips
Apple Chips (paleoleap.com)
Any kind of apples can be used for this recipe: pick your favorite variety, or just use whatever you can find in season. If you want perfectly even apple slices, you can use a mandolin to cut them (this also saves some time), but they’ll turn out just as delicious if they’re a little rough around the edges. But make sure to slice them thin: this avoids the flavorless leathery texture you might remember from grocery-store chips. These chips won’t remind you of stale, apple-flavored chewing gum: they’re tart on the inside, crispy on the outside, and packed with the concentrated flavor of the fresh fruit.
You Need:
Apples (any kind)
Ground cinnamon (to taste)
How to Make:
Preheat oven to 22o F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Cut apples in thin slices. Spread apples on the baking sheets (do not overlap edges). Sprinkle cinnamon on top of apples. Place in oven of 1 hour, then flip and dry for another hour. Let cool down before serving. Store in tight container.
