- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
- Oil from an oil spray

- Spray the paper lightly with oil.
- Lay the apple slices in overlapping rows. Spray the tops lightly.

- Serve warm with yoghurt.
Tips from the kitchen
- Slice evenly so they bake at the same speed. A mandoline helps if you have one.
- Choose a firm variety, like Braeburn or Pink Lady. Soft apples collapse.
- Zest the orange before you juice it.
- This dish contains fruit sugars and is not suitable for a strict keto plan.

Grates hard cheese and takes zest off citrus in seconds. Fine enough that a little goes a long way.
