Apples are always widely available but especially so in autumn. That’s when I like to buy a big batch and make these oven cooked maple apple crisps. They are easy to make, and are convenient to store and to transport around, making them perfect on-the-go food.
Ingredients
- 2 large Granny Smith apples makes about 2 trays of apple slices
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 110° C / 230° F.
- Wash and slice the apples very thinly (see pic above). You can remove the seeds if you like, but it's fine to leave them in. Rub or drizzle the slices with a little lemon juice and place on the oven trays lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 2 hours, turning the slices over half way through. You might need to rotate the trays in the oven for even heat exposure.
- After two hours, the slices should be considerably dried up. Take the trays out and brush each slice with maple syrup. Then sprinkle with a little cinnamon and put back in the oven for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, remove the trays again, give the slices another light brush (more of a dub) with maple syrup and sprinkle with sesame seeds. We're adding the sesame seeds right at the end as they can burn easily. Put back in the oven for 4-5 minutes.
- Finally, remove the trays from the oven and let the apples cool before storing in an air-tight container.
