Pear Chips with Yogurt-Caramel Dip
So it seems I've just missed pear season
but these cute little chips are still pretty great. I've decided to serve them
with a lovely yogurt-caramel dip to complement the sweetness of the pears. It
would be fun also to bake up several different types of pears then at lease the
skin of the pear would be different colors on the platter. This is a great
little snack or a healthy dessert.
I used a Bartlett pear and the sweetness
was perfect for what I wanted. The dip is made with greek yogurt because I
wanted it to have a thick texture and slightly tart flavor. We are mixing in
some caramel sauce after all and dipping naturally sweet pears in it. Overall
the recipe doesn't take much time for prepping, just the baking takes a while.
Some of my pears were still a little soft but if you can get them as thin as
possible they will crisp up a little better. Also, if you have a dehydrator
then that would be wonderful. If not, don't worry, you can bake them like I did
on a low temperature for a while. I have also seen those microwave
dehydrators...I wonder how those work. Anyone know?
These chips and dip make such a great
snack or dessert because there isn't anything on the pear slices and only a bit
of caramel sauce is added to the yogurt. The yogurt I used was flavored with
vanilla beans so that added a nice detail. You could of course use any yogurt
you see fit to mix with the caramel sauce and the cinnamon, if you want to go
the direction I did. This isn't to long of a post today but it's also not too
long of a recipe...so on the recipe, then this weeks blog hop, and happy
baking!

Chips with Yogurt-Caramel Dip
Serves 1-2
Ingredients:

- - 1 teaspoon
- caramel sauce

Directions:
1. Preheat
oven to 275F. Slice the pears into ⅛” thick pieces and
place on a cooling rack on a cookie sheet (the air will circulate around the
slices better). Bake about 20 minutes, then gently turn the pieces. Bake an
additional 15-20 minutes or until the slices are just golden brown.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl blend together the yogurt, caramel sauce, and
cinnamon until evenly mixed. Chill until ready to serve.

cooled pear chips with the yogurt-caramel dip.
