Apple Chips 2 large apples, cored (I used Red Delicious) 2 T. sugar (optional) 1 t. cinnamon canola oil spray Preheat oven to 200 degrees.Thinly slice apples crosswise about 1/8-inch (2 mm) thick with a mandoline or sharp knife.  Arrange apple slices in a single layer on two parchment-lined rimmed baking sheets, and spray with canola oil cooking spray.If using sugar, combine in a small bowl with cinnamon.  Put mixture into a sieve and sprinkle evenly over apple slices.Bake in the top and bottom third of the oven until apples are dry and crisp, about 2 hours (mine took a little longer than that to get crisp, but I didn’t use sugar).  Remove from oven and let ‘chips’ cool completely before transferring to a sealed container for up to 3 days.  Makes about 2 cups of apple chips.

Yield: 12 squares Ingredients: 1 cup fresh blueberries 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped 1 ripe banana, chopped 1/4 cup pure maple syrup 1 tsp pure vanilla extract 2 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp warm water 3 cups regular oatmeal, divided 1 tsp ground cinnamon 1 & 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp kosher salt 1/2 cup + 3 tbsp (6oz) unsweetened applesauce 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp pure maple syrup 1/4 cup  + 2 tbsp water 1 tsp pure vanilla extract 1. Preheat oven to 375F and line a 8inch square pan with two pieces of parchment paper. In a small bowl mix together cornstarch with warm water to form a paste. Make sure all clumps are gone.

Add this processed flour, remaining 1.5 cup of oats, baking powder, and salt into large bowl. Stir. Now add in the wet ingredients (applesauce, maple syrup, water, vanilla) and mix well. Pour 2/3 of the batter into the prepared pan and push down firmly with fingers to smooth out. Grab the prepared berry filling and spread over the top of the oat base until smooth. Now crumble the remaining oat base mixture on top. 4. Bake for 30 mins. at 375F or until the top is slightly golden and firm. Allow to cool for at least 20 minutes before cutting into squares.

Baked Zucchini Chips 1 zucchini  canola cooking spray seasoned salt, or other seasoning(s) of your choice Preheat oven to 225 degrees.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick foil, and spray with canola oil.  Set aside.Slice zucchini into thin medallions, about the thickness of a quarter.  (You can either use a knife & a very steady hand, or a mandoline slicer.)Lay out slices on prepared baking sheet, and spray tops lightly with additional cooking spray.  Sprinkle with seasonings of your choice. (A note on seasoning, however - use LESS than what seems appropriate.  These shrink considerably in the oven, and if you use too much it gets very concentrated.  It’s better to end up underseasoning and add more later.)Place in preheated oven and bake 45 minutes.  Rotate baking sheet, and bake an additional 30-50 minutes, until chips are browned and crisped to your liking.  These are best eaten within a couple hours of removing from the oven, as they start to get chewy if left out.  One zucchini makes one serving (1/4 C. - 1/3 C. of chips depending on the size of your squash).
