Baked Cinnamon Apple Chips
Dusted with cinnamon and slowly baked until shatteringly crisp, these homemade apple chips are a healthy snack to make with your autumn apples.
Equipment
- Mandoline or sharp knife
Ingredients
- 1 large apple
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°F (93°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
- Use a sharp knife or apple corer to remove the core from the apple. Use a mandoline or sharp knife to slice the apple as thinly as possible. The slices should be about ⅛-inch thick, or thinner, if you prefer, but not so thin that you can see through them.
- Arrange the apple slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. You can get them very close together, but don't overlap. Overlapped slices will fuse together during baking. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
- Bake until the apple slices are very crisp, 2 to 2 ½ hours. To check for doneness, remove a slice from the tray in the oven and let it cool for about 1 minute. Once cool, it should be very crisp. If not, continue cooking for 20 to 30 minutes more and check again.
- Remove the chips from the oven and let cool completely. Transfer to a sealed bag or jar and store for up to 6 months.
Notes
- Cooking time--The thickness and moisture content of your apple slices will determine the cooking time. This may vary by up to 1 hour.
- Storage--To maximize the shelf life of apple slices, make sure that they are completely dry. After baking the chips should be crisp and crunchy like a potato chip, without any chew.
- Dietary--This recipe is suitable for gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan diets.
