As I just posted on my other blog, I've been on a blog-cation.
Last week I spent a couple days substitute teaching in the middle school special ed. room. I filled in for a teacher's assistant and I had the best time, ever.
Working with about five students that day, we learned about Johnny Appleseed and apples. As the teacher spoke to the students about a snack we would make that day, my ears naturally perked up.
Did someone say, snack? I wondered. My stomach growled a little.
We made apple dip and cinnamon flavored chips that day. As we all sat around the small table in the classroom enjoying a very easy and delicious recipe, I knew I had to make this for my family.
This weekend, I followed through on my own promises and made this for my kids. They weren't crazy about the apple dip, but gobbled up the cinnamon chips faster than you can say, "Johnny Appleseed."
Here's the recipe:
Cinnamon Chips
Soft Flour Tortilla Shells
1/4 - 1/2 stick of butter, melted
1/2 cup of cinnamon and sugar
Apple Dip
2-3 Golden Delicious Apples
1/2 cup of cinnamon and sugar
1/8 cup of lemon juice
2 tbsp. apricot preserves
Method:
