Microwave-Made Apple Chips

Directions

1. 1
   Cut the apple in half and slice as thinly as possible.
2. 2
   (The slices in the picture are slightly on the thicker side.)
3. 3
   A slicer or wide peeler is good for this task too!
4. 4
   It's cute if you use a shaped cookie cutter to cut out the core.
5. 5
   You can use the cut out portion to decorate a bento lunchbox.
6. 6
   Line up the apples on a paper towel and cover them with another paper towel (sandwich the apples) and microwave it for 3 minutes.
7. 7
   Change the bottom paper towel and flip the apples.
8. 8
   Microwave for another 3 minutes.
9. 9
   (It's easier to flip the apples and paper towels together.)
10. 10
    Once they become crisp, cool and they're finished.
11. 11
    After some time they will become a bit soggy and damp, so if that happens, topping with pancake or cupcake batter and then baking them is a cute idea.
