Apple Chips
These Apple Chips are thinly sliced apples baked at low temperature with cinnamon and powdered sweetener to create a crisp snack. The slow baking and cooling in the oven help achieve a crunchy texture without frying or dehydrating equipment.
Ingredients
- 3 apple
- 2 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 Tablespoon powdered sweetener
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Sift powdered sweetener and cinnamon into a bowl.
- Wash and thinly slice the apples using a mandoline to 1/16”. Remove seeds from the slices. Spread the apple slices onto the baking sheets in a single layer. Using a sifter or sieve, sprinkle each slice with the cinnamon and sweetener mixture on each side.
- Bake for 1 hour, flip the apples over, and bake for another 1-1.5 hours. Turn the oven off and keep the apples inside as the oven cools down for 1 hour. This will help them get crunchy. Allow the apple chips to cool completely before storing. Store apple chips at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Notes
- Use a mandoline to slice apples uniformly about 1/16 inch for even baking.
- Keep the apple skins on to help slices hold their shape while baking.
- Let the chips cool in the turned-off oven for an hour to achieve crispiness.
- A dehydrator can be used at 135°F for about 10 hours as an alternative drying method.
- Store finished apple chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
