Apple Chips With Salted Caramel Yogurt Dip Food

APPLE CHIPS WITH SWEET YOGURT DIP

Steps:

• For the chips: Place 1 rack at the top and 1 at the bottom position and preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line 2 large heavy baking sheets with parchment paper. Lightly coat the parchment with nonstick spray.
• For the topping: In a small bowl, stir the sugar, cinnamon and salt until blended.
• For the apple chips: Stand each apple upright. Cut 1/4 inch vertically off the right and left sides of each apple. Set the mandoline or v-slicer for cutting 1/16-inch-thick slices. Place 1 apple, cut-side down, on the slicer. Cut slices until the apple core is exposed. Turn the apple over and cut slices off the remaining side until the core is exposed. Arrange the apple slices in a single layer on one of the baking sheets. Repeat with the second apple.
• Using your fingertips, sprinkle the apple slices generously with the topping. Bake until the edges curl and the chips are golden and feel crisp, 40 to 45 minutes. Pull the parchment with the apples onto the work surface and cool completely, 20 to 30 minutes (the chips will crisp more as they cool).
• For the dip: In a medium bowl, stir the yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla and salt until blended. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
• Serve the dip alongside the apple chips.

CARAMEL APPLE DIP

Steps:

• Combine the caramels, cream, butter and vanilla in a small slow cooker. Cook on low, stirring every 20 minutes, until the mixture is melted, about 1 hour.
• Core the apples and slice into eighths. Skewer the ice-pop sticks into the apple slices. Dip the apple slices into the caramel sauce, letting excess drip off, then dip into the toppings of choice.
• For a cookies and cream flavor, Marcela coats the apples with crushed cookies and chocolate sauce.
• For a salted caramel apple, Katie sprinkles with chopped salted peanuts and sea salt.
• For a sweet take on breakfast, Jeff adds crushed cereal and mini white chocolate chips.
• For a Halloween treat, Sunny breaks up chocolate peanut butter bars and mini candy-coated chocolates for dipping.
• For a caramel apple easier than pie, GZ dips his into brown sugar and cinnamon.
