Notes

Recipe Tips:

Types of apple - you can use any type of apple you like for this recipe (I generally use Pink Lady or Granny Smith).

Slicing the apple - make sure you peel the apple before slicing it into thin slices. The slices need to be quite thin so that they start to soften when baked.

Cinnamon - you can sprinkle ground cinnamon or cinnamon sugar over the top. Cinnamon sugar will result in a sweeter flavour.

Storing the slice - store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Please note: this slice does not freeze well.

Cutting the slice - I like to use a small serrated knife to cut through the apple layer and then a large flat knife to cut through the rest of the slice.
