There seems to be a stigma around eating healthy that causes people to think that healthy foods are expensive. Maybe part of that comes down to an ever-growing health and fitness industry.

Healthy Homemade Apple Chips
Apple chips are a favorite healthy snack in our family. Every fall we go to an orchard and pick a bushel of apples and we make pie and apple chips out of them.
