Cinnamon and Ginger Jazz Apple Chips

, 6

If you are like me, you are soaking every last bit of summer up that you can…beach days, lake days, pool days.  My garden is overflowing with fresh veggies, our grill has been the main source of cooking.  And you know what?  I like being this lazy.

I mean, lazy is okay, right? 

Must we always be working? Or cleaning? Must I always be standing over the stove, cooking?  Nay, I say. Nyet.

I am going to continue The Lazy.

The Lazy does allow for some sweet treats though – like these apple chips.  Cinnamon and ginger mixed with a little sugar and sprinkled over thinly slice Jazz Apples (read below for more info on these tasty morsels of yum), then placed in the oven and left alone.  For hours.  Like I wish I would be.  Left. Alone.

Welcome to The Lazy.  Jump in fast…there’s only about a month left.  And I will see you at the pool. (you bring the apple chips, okay?  We ate ours already!)

Enjoy!

Cinnamon and Ginger Jazz Apple Chips

Ingredients

  • 2 apples (I used Jazz Apples)
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • For dusting: 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
  • For dusting: 1/2 teaspoon ginger
  • For dusting: 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 250°F.  Line 2-3 sheet pans with parchment paper and spray them with non-stick spray.
  2. Combine sugar and water in a pot and bring to a boil.  Remove from heat; let cool.
  3. While mixture is cooling, use a sharp knife or mandolin to thinly slice the apples.
  4. When sugar syrup is cool, place apple slices in syrup and allow them soak for a few minutes.
  5. Arrange apple slices on sheet pans so they are close but not touching.  Mix ginger and  cinnamon in with powdered sugar and dust apple slices.
  6. Place in the oven for 1 hour, then turn the oven off and remove the next morning.  The chips will be crispy and ready to eat.

During the summer in the U.S., pears and apples abound in New Zealand. When you see New Zealand pears and apples in the stores they’re super-fresh and ready to eat. JAZZ apples are touching hearts and taste buds with Crunch to Contribute, a fun and easy way for all of us to help change lives in a meaningful way. Crunch on a JAZZ apple, post a photo, and $1 will be donated to either the American or Canadian Diabetes Association. While the growers of this tangy-sweet, summer-fresh treat are in New Zealand, they wanted their fruit to contribute toward a far-reaching diabetes prevention solution. High in fiber, JAZZ apples add crunch―and zingy flavor!―to virtually any recipe. And next time you munch on JAZZ, show your stuff and post a pic.
