YOUR HEALTHY PLATE: Talia’s Crispy Apple Cereal

Posted on by

You know how some of the best inventions happen by accident?  So this past Sunday I decided to slice up about a dozen of the abundance of apples in my refrigerator and dehydrate them.  I don’t have a real dehydrator, so I used the next best thing — the oven.  Around noon, I sliced each apple into 5 or 6 circles, spread them on cookie sheets, sprinkled them with cinnamon, and turned the oven to 200 F.  Then I left on an assortment of errands.  I planned to return around 4 pm, at which time I would begin to check on the apples periodically.  

But it didn’t turn out that way, exactly.  I’ll spare you the details, only to say that the apples were quite crisp at 8 pm.  I thought I was going to have to feed them to the chickens, but was surprised to discover that they were really good!  I began scooping them off the cookie sheets and putting them into a jar on the counter.  
Right then, my daughter walked through the kitchen and helped herself to a few.  Hey, these would be great in milk, she said.  So she crumbled a few into a cup and poured some milk over them.  Almond milk, in her case, but any milk would work.  They kept their crisp and made a great (grainless) “cereal.”  And we still have bunches more.
