For the best tasting produce, one should always eat them when they’re in season and when it comes to fall, apples are definitely at their peak of flavor.  When I came upon a recipe by Aimee, one of the bloggers for The Dirty Gourmet Blog, for Maple Olive Oil Apple Chips, I loved it on the spot.

First, the recipe uses only 4 ingredients, including the apples themselves.  Second, except for the slicing of the apples part, this recipe is kid-friendly.  Finally, these apple chips are a healthy snack alternative that you can take on the go.  A true win-win-win situation.  Click here to see the original recipe post.
