Sweet Summer Treat

Sweet, sweet summer is finally here. I am super excited about summer being here. It is my favorite time of year because everybody is at the drive-in movie theater, running around with their group of friends, and it’s a wonderful time to hang outside with a nice, cool, refreshing beverage in your hand. But…I am not going to grace you with a nice, cool, refreshing beverage, but a wonderful, cool, and delicious dessert.

This is the first time I have tried this, and for me…I think it came out wonderfully. Three main ingredients that you will need will be

• Apples
• Cinnamon
• Vanilla Ice Cream

Ingredients

The first step to having a wonderful dessert for a hot summer night will be to cut the apples into slices. I like for them to be a little bit more thick. This kind of reminds me of apple pie filling. But healthier…before the ice cream.

Apples sliced and covered in cinnamon.

I baked the apples at 275 degrees for two hours. At the one hour mark, I flipped the apples over and then covered that side with cinnamon as well. I baked the apples for the last hour checking on them every 15 minutes. The thinner the slices, the crispier the apples will become. You can make apple chips this same way, just cut the apple more thin.  Take them out of the oven and top them on top of your vanilla ice cream and you have a delicious sweet summer dessert.

Have you all made these before? Do you have tips on what you like to do when you make sweet apple chips or baked apples for ice cream? Is there other fruit that you would like to try this with? Also, what recipes or crafts would you like for me to try? I have several things lined up for the next couple of months, but I would love to hear what you all have to think or would like to see.

I hope that you all have a wonderful summer and don’t forget to let me know what you all think!

Love always in the Dove
