Tasty Thursday: Apple Cinnamon Chips

It’s about time for a YUMMY treat.
I’ve been such a good girl since my vet visit.
 Apples, Apples, Apples … are one of my favorite healthy treats.
There are many kinds and colors of apples.
Are Apples Good for Dogs? YES
Apples are a good source of dietary fiber and Vitamin C.
Many believe that the Vitamin C can help hip dysplasia,
a very common ailment in large and purebred dogs.
It is considered a healthy snack for it is low in saturated fat and sodium. 
Apples consist of omega-3 fatty acids which provide a shiny healthy coat
and help prevent skin allergies (which I have).
 
 One IMPORTANT thing you need to be cautious in feeding your dog an apple are the seeds. APPLE SEEDS contain trace amounts of substance called amygdlin which is a form of cyanide and it is very poisonous. Cyanide hinders the blood from carrying oxygen throughout the body. If your dog swallows a few seeds, their body will detoxify itself. However, crucial harm can occur if your dog consumed large amounts of apple seeds, A simple suggestion on 
How to Serve Apples to your Dog:
AVOID the APPLE SEEDS and CUT APPLES INTO BITE SIZE.

One last thing: MODERATION
Yes apples are healthy snacks but the down side is its “natural sugar”.
Due to its sugar content, too much of it can lead to weight gain.
Too much apples can also cause stomach upset and loose bowel.
It is also not recommended to be given for dogs who has 
kidney and arthritis issues.(Please check with your vet.)

With all this said … Here’s the Apple Cinnamon Chips my mom made.
 
 WOW! My mom is a wanna be Top Chef.
She made it really fancy this time.
Apple Cinnamon Chips are served on a white plate with
smudges of apple sauce on the edges.
 
 Does it really make any difference?
Mmmm, not really. I just want to eat it.
That’s it! I want more.
Oh! Yes, Apples are YUMMY tasty low fat-treat 
but must have it only in moderation especially when 
I have to watch my waistline (Just like my friend Sammie).

Here’s the recipe … Enjoy!
Apple Cinnamon Chips
1 Apple (preferably Fuji or Honey Apples – great for baking)
Preheat oven 300 degrees.
Cut the apples into bites size (depending on the size of your dog)
(Take Note: do not cut it too small and too thin because Apples shrink when baked)
Place the apples on the baking sheet or pan.
Sprinkle it with cinnamon.
Bake it for 20 minutes.
Let it cool before serving.
Optional: Serve it with (homemade) apple sauce
 
Another tasty treat that you and your dog can enjoy!
“An Apple a day, keeps the vet away” 
(just be sure not to eat the seeds)
Woof! Woof!

    We will try that Sugar, thank you. We have both started eating apples and that seems to be our favourite – neither of us is at all keen on bananas.
    Our mum thinks we would like your recipe and it is very simple.
    Of course we will insist on the large white plate with the drizzle of apple sauce – presentation, we are sure you will agree, is everything to us dogs!!!
    love and kisses

    Yumzers and mom says, "so very pretty too!" Your mom is such a good cook – my mumzer doesn't make too much for me – I always seem to be on a diet ugh. I keep getting into things that the kids drop when they come over, or other dogs' treats hehee! You look perpetually bootiful, Sugar and it's probably due to great treats like this!
    Hugs xo

  26. dewdana says:

    Oh my goodness Sugar! You are beautiful! I was just about to run to the store to get some apples for my moose based on one of the suggestions from another reader. I knew it was ok to give apples to dogs but was not sure if they were good for them or not so your post was most informative!
    If you give up on Kongs then the carrot shoved in there would probably be more than you were interested in. My Moose has ridiculously strong jaws so he can get the carrot out in no time! It is nice meeting you and I will have to poke around more later. THanks for stopping by!

  27. Tanuki Maxx says:

    Hi Sugar! Wow those apples sure do look yummy!! They've one of my fav fruits! Mommy sometimes give me a piece and it would last me say 10-15 minutes. I just had to modify it's shape!

    Cheers,
    Maxx

    Hi Sugar, One of my moms favorite dawgs was a golden. He was such a sweet guy. I am glad you found my blog. I have you bookmarked now.
    I like apples too. Yummm. I like them fresh when mom eats them in the evening. She also dehydrates them for me. I'll have to tell her about the cinnamon though. Beautiful presentation picture there.
