September Dishcloth

~ Life of Momma B ~ 4 Comments

Can you believe September is here? The kids are back in school and hopefully the weather will start cooling down soon. That means that Christmas is right around the corner. If you have been following me for long you know that I am working on a set of dishcloths for Christmas presents, one to represent each month of the year.  Today, I give you September’s dishcloth.

For this cloth I used my favorite size 6 needles and half a skein of Rouge Red by Peaches & Creme. The pattern provided an optional seed stitch border in the notes section so it will match the others in the set.

 

Apple Chips

We associate fall with autumn colors, pumpkins and apples. Apples are the perfect fall food. They are crisp and full of flavor. While apples are available all year they are best in the fall when they are fresh. Apples can be used in so many recipes that you cannot go wrong with an apple recipe.

One of my kids favorites is apple chips. They are easy to make, they just take a little time to get them crispy.

APPLE CHIPS
2 granny smith apples
cinnamon and sugar

Peel and slice apples extra thin with a mandolin. Spread in a single layer on a large cookie sheet. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Bake at 225 for 90 minutes. Flip apple slices and sprinkle with more cinnamon and sugar. Bake another 90 minutes. Then turn oven off and leave the door shut and allow the apple piece to cool.

I use granny smith apples because they are firm and a little tart. Other variety of apples will work. I find that 2 apples fit well on my large (12×16) cookie sheet. As always feel print the recipe card (Apple chips) and add it to your collection.
