Apple Chips with Cinnamon Caramel Sauce

Directions

For the apple chips

1. Preheat the oven to 150 °C (300 °F).
2. Wash the apples and cut into thin slices using a mandolin.
3. Spread the sliced apples out on two large baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
4. Mix together the cinnamon and sugar, then sprinkle the mixture over the apple slices.
5. Bake for 1 hour in the oven, turn the slices over, then bake for another hour.
6. Turn off the oven, turn the apple slices over again and let cool inside the oven for 1 hour.
7. Once dried and cooled, store the apples in a sealed container.

For the cinnamon caramel sauce

1. Combine the sugar, water and corn syrup in a thick-bottomed pot. Mix the ingredients thoroughly, then heat on high.
2. Bring to a boil without stirring. The caramel is ready when it becomes amber in colour and a candy thermometer indicates a temperature of 170 °C (340 °F).
3. Add the cream to the caramel. Stir gently with a wooden spoon. Add the ground cinnamon and let cool.
4. Serve with apple chips for dipping.
