They look fantastic love the cotlhcaoe on top! The chips I used were very thin (I made them myself), so I didn’t have the moisture absorption issue maybe you could soak them in hot apple juice for about a minute & then drain them before adding them next time? The only reason I didn’t want to use fresh apples is because I was afraid they would turn out too cakey.In any case, thanks for the link! : )
