This Easy Apple Chips Recipe offers a simple and healthy way to enjoy a crispy, cinnamon-flavored snack made from thinly sliced apples baked to perfection. Perfect for a wholesome treat or an on-the-go snack, these chips are naturally sweet, crunchy, and require only a few ingredients.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 3 large apples (such as Gala, Fuji, or Honeycrisp)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit (90 Celsius) to prepare it for slow baking the apple slices.
  2. Prepare Baking Sheets: Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat; this prevents sticking and helps with even baking.
  3. Slice Apples: Wash the apples thoroughly and use a mandoline slicer to cut them into thin slices about 1/8-inch thick. Carefully remove the seeds from each slice.
  4. Arrange and Season: Lay the apple slices closely in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle cinnamon evenly over both sides of the apple slices for balanced flavor.
  5. Bake First Hour: Place the baking sheets in the oven and bake for 1 hour to begin drying out the apple slices.
  6. Flip and Bake More: Flip each apple slice to the other side to ensure even drying, then bake for an additional hour.
  7. Cool Down: Turn off the oven and let the apple chips cool inside for about 30 minutes to crisp up completely. If they are not crunchy enough, continue baking in 15-minute increments until desired texture is achieved.
  8. Serve or Store: Remove the chips from the sheets and enjoy immediately or store them in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crunch.

Notes

  • Using a mandoline slicer ensures uniform thickness for even baking and crispiness.
  • Choose sweet and firm apple varieties like Gala, Fuji, or Honeycrisp for the best flavor and texture.
  • The slow baking at low temperature is key to drying out the apples without burning them.
  • If you prefer spicier chips, add a pinch of nutmeg or allspice along with the cinnamon.
  • Store apple chips in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them crisp for up to a week.
  • For vegan and gluten-free snacks, these apple chips are a perfect choice.
