Already dreading the tide of hungry after school kids? Whether you are looking for that simple, perfect healthy after school snack or really want to impress a hungry crowd of kids (and their parents) – this clean eating cinnamon apple crisp recipe is easy to make and is a winner every time.

I work on one apple per child, so if I’m making a batch at home I usually slice up four apples. This makes just enough for all four kids and myself. When I make a batch of these for a shared lunch at school I squeeze three trays in the oven which works out to around 6 – 8 apples. I know you are thinking “Ah huh She’s that kind on Mom that only serves cut up carrots at a birthday party”. OK, so I do serve cut up carrots at birthday parties, but don’t judge this one – ALL the kids love these.

The trick to getting these cinnamon apple crisps perfectly curled and crispy is to:
1. bake them on low for long.
2. Slice them really thin.

Don’t worry if you break a few while cutting. Half crisps taste just as good.

If I’m in a hurry and I have a lot to crisps to make, I use my Apple Slinky machine to slice and core the apple.You can get through 8 apples in around a minute. The only issue with this is that it cuts out the pretty little apple star in the middle and a really like the look of it. The great thing about it is that it turns a regular ol’ apple into the most desired piece of fruit in the kitchen. My kids line up to make apple slinkys.
