Apple pie with Chia seeds fruit roll ups




Cook two apples- 350 till soft, time depends on size of the apples (without the core) and grind in a blender, add about half a tsp, of nutmeg, 1 tsp cinnamon, 3 tablespoons maple syrup.
Soak 1 tablespoon of Chia seeds in a glass with a little water for about half an hour.
add to the mixture with the apples, flatten on the Dehydrator tray until dry.  10 hours on 125 degrees.

To make in oven: Blend fruit in food processor or blender until smooth. Spread: Pour into a pan lined with plastic wrap or parchment paper then spread out ⅛ to ¼ inch thick. Place in oven at a low temp (or as low as oven will go) for 4 to 6 hours, or until the middle is not longer tacky


I've been into Chia lately-Despite their small size, chia seeds are full of important nutrients. They are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, rich in antioxidants, and they provide fiber, iron, and calcium. Omega-3 fatty acids help raise HDL cholesterol, the “good” cholesterol that protects against heart attack and stroke.Chia seeds are a good source of fiber, providing 11 grams of fiber in each 1-ounce (28-gram) serving (2).  A common dosage recommendation is 20 grams (about 1.5 tablespoons) of chia seeds, twice per day. Chia seed fibre, omega-3, and antioxidant polyphenols have beneficial effects on the liver and circulation that can lower blood pressure. ... “Chia seeds also contain fibre, lignin's, antioxidants, magnesium, calcium and potassium which together have an even more powerful effect against high blood pressure.

  1. This is really interesting Linda. I have heard that chia seeds are very good for you. Will have to pass this one on to my daughter in law, this is right up to her foods.
