Candied Apple Slices

This is one of the simplest ways to preserve the humble apple. Apple and sweet cinnamon go together like peaches and cream, but you can use mixed spice or pumpkin pie spice, adjusting the level of spice to suit your taste.
These candied apple slices are a perfect snack food – or use them as a decoration for ice cream or an Instagram-able smoothie bowl. The end result is sweet, crunchy and will snap readily.

CHEF’S NOTE: If you are using a mandolin, you need a good fit for your apple and to ensure that the apple is not too wide to glide effortlessly across the blade. If your apples are too wide for for the mandolin, cut the apple in half from top to bottom and slice into half apple slices instead. Accidents can happen if you try and force a fruit that is too large to fit on a mandolin and you won’t achieve even slices.
