Recipe Fail

So do you ever think something is almost too good to be true?? Like when you see the picture of a finished product and you think to yourself, "yeah, right...." That is exactly what happens to me when I read certain recipes!  There is just something inside of you while reading some recipes that has such an skeptical feel that you know it will not turn out... But you try it anyways... Like I did.
The recipe I found was on a website for "dried apples."  Okay, my family has dried fruit before, and usually it takes hours upon hours... Not minutes.  That should have been my "definite no" button.  So that was my first red flag.  The recipe basically said to slice apples super thin, lay them on a baking sheet; sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on them and then pop them in the oven for about 45 minutes at 245 degrees and they will "dry."  NOPE. As I had predicted they did not turn out at all!! I even let them bake about 20 minutes past the time they called for.
Needless to say, if you read a recipe and have doubts. Follow your instinct! At least this recipe only cost me an apple!
