Soaking the apple slices in simple syrup overnight really makes a difference in the final result. Once baked, the chips will be shiny and crispier than usual. You can even reuse the syrup to sweeten tea or make another batch of apple chips.

Classic chocolate chippers are a staple after-school snack, but everyone has their preference: chewy or crispy. Alton Brown perfected this recipe for lovers of the chewy variety.
Chocolate-Dipped Granola Bars
Ree sends her kids off for a day of horseback riding with these wholesome, grab-and-go treats. They’re perfect fuel for a day at school, too.
Citrus Fruit Salad
This sweet and tangy citrus salad is so DELICIOUS and as tasty as it is beautiful. Kids love this for a healthy snack at any time of year!

Getting enough greens shouldn’t be a chore, and with these kale chips, it won’t be. The best way to eat this nutrient-rich veggie is baked with salt, chile flakes, and a squeeze of lemon.
Flavored Milk
Change up your standard milk-and-cookies routine by flavoring low-fat milk with strawberries, peaches, or mixed berries!
Flour’s Famous Banana Bread
A small amount of creme fraiche or sour cream goes a long way in this moist loaf perfected by Flour Bakery in Boston. Toss in some chopped, toasted walnuts for a hearty crunch!

You will never buy store-bought applesauce again after you see how EASY it is to make applesauce yourself! It only takes a few minutes, it tastes so much better, and you’ll love being able to control how much added sugar goes in it.

Fair warning: Once you make Ina Garten’s homemade granola bars packed with oats, nuts, coconut, and dried fruit, the kids may never want the boxed ones again.
