Description

Crispy, lightly spiced apple chips baked to perfection, making a healthy and delicious snack for any time of day. These homemade apple chips are simple to prepare, using just a few ingredients and baked slowly to achieve the perfect crunch without added sugars or preservatives.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 medium apple (washed and dried)
  • Cooking spray
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prep: Gather all ingredients and equipment. Ensure the apple is washed and completely dried before slicing to help the chips crisp up properly.
  2. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 230°F (110°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and promote even cooking.
  3. Slice Apples: Slice the apple evenly through the center using a mandoline slicer set to 2 mm thickness. If slicing by hand, make the slices as thin as possible for optimal crispness.
  4. Arrange Slices: Lay the apple slices out in a single layer on the lined baking sheet. Spray both sides of the slices lightly with cooking spray to help them crisp and to better adhere to the cinnamon.
  5. Season: Sprinkle the apple slices evenly with 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon for a warm, sweet flavor.
  6. Bake: Place baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 50 minutes, or until the apple slices turn lightly golden and the edges curl. Flip the slices halfway through baking to ensure even crisping. Thicker slices may require additional baking time.
  7. Cool: Remove baked apple chips and transfer to a wire rack or paper towels to cool for about 10 minutes. The chips will continue to crisp as they cool.
  8. Serve or Store: Enjoy the apple chips immediately for the best texture, or store them in an airtight container to keep fresh for several days.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline slicer for even thin slices, which helps achieve uniform crispiness.
  • Ensure apple slices are dry before baking to avoid sogginess.
  • Check slices at 45 minutes to avoid burning, especially if your oven runs hot.
  • Store apple chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Try different apple varieties like Granny Smith for tartness or Fuji for extra sweetness.
