🍎 Apple Chips Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 large apples (Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala work great) 🍏
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon 🌿
- Optional: pinch of sea salt 🧂
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the oven:
Set oven to 225°F (110°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. - Slice the apples:
Using a sharp knife or mandoline, slice apples into very thin rounds (⅛-inch or thinner). Remove any seeds, but no need to peel. - Season:
Arrange slices in a single layer on baking sheets. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon (and a touch of sea salt if using). - Bake low and slow:
Bake for 1½ to 2 hours, flipping halfway through. Chips are done when edges curl and feel dry to the touch. They’ll crisp up more as they cool. - Cool and store:
Let chips cool completely on the tray. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week. 🍎✨
💡 Tips & Flavor Twists
- ✨ Try other spices: Add nutmeg, cardamom, or pumpkin spice.
- ✨ Sweeten it: Dust with coconut sugar before baking for a dessert-like snack.
- ✨ Make extra crispy: Leave in oven with door ajar for 30 minutes post-bake.
- ✨ Use a dehydrator: For extra long shelf-life and consistent crunch.
🌿 Nutritional Highlights
Apples are rich in fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants. With no added sugar or fat, these chips are a wholesome alternative to processed snacks.
🧊 Make-Ahead & Storage Tips
- ✅ Make-ahead: Bake in large batches and store for the week.
- ✅ Storage: Keep in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 7 days.
- ✅ Refresh crunch: If they soften, re-crisp in a 200°F oven for 10 minutes.
