Baked Cinnamon "Apple Chips" - 82 Calories Serves: 3 Time: 3 - 4 hours Vegan + Vegetarian
Ingredients 3 Tart Apples, like Granny Smith (240 calories total) 1 + 1/2 Tbs Lemon Juice (6 calories total) 1 Cup Water (negligible calories) Cinnamon, Sprinkled (negligible calories)
Instructions Mix lemon juice and water, and place into a bowl. This will be used to store the apple slices and keep them from turning brown before they are cooked.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and place to the side of your work area.
Wash and dry apples. Core (and peel, if desired), and slice into thin circles using mandolin slicer. Place each new circle into lemon and water mixture (turn to coat).
Once all apples have been cored and sliced, and dipped in the lemon mixture, remove the apple slices. Press to dry on paper towels --- as dry as you can get them before they start to brown! Lightly sprinkle with cinnamon on each side. Place on cooking sheet.
Place cooking sheet with apples into oven, at lowest temperature setting (about 150°F to 170°F). Every 30 minutes, flip slices. If parchment paper is excessively wet, replace with new piece. Cook for about 2 hours (up to 3 hours, if needed) and remove from oven.
Place on wire cooling rack. They should dry a little bit more as they get cooler, so don't get too upset.
For an accurate serving size, count up the number of pieces you have, and divide by 3.
Enjoy!

Totally swiped from TheSneakyChef.com, a website that urges you to sneak fruits and vegetables into otherwise unhealty dishes. Please also note that for this dish to be vegetarian, you must use animal-free sugar, like Domino brand. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chocolate-Banana "Ice Cream" - 94 Calories Serves: 2 Time: Under 5 Minutes Lacto-Vegetarian
Ingredients 1 Frozen Banana (121 calories) 2Tbs Plain Low-Fat Yogurt (20 calories) 1Tbs Organic Sugar (45 calories) 1/2tsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (2 calories)
Instructions Freeze banana in plastic bag overnight. When completely frozen, unpeel and cut into slices. Place banana slices and all other items in a food processor on a high setting to puree. Stop occassionally to scrape down sides. Split in half and enjoy!
Also, these can also probably make fudgesicles, if you refreeze the resulting mixture on a stick.
