Easy Apple Chips Recipe
Description
This recipe starts by preheating the oven to 200°F and preparing two baking sheets lined with parchment or silicone mats. Apples are washed, cored of seeds, and sliced very thinly with a mandoline, approximately 1/8 inch thick. The thin slices help achieve a crisp texture upon baking. Cinnamon is then sprinkled on both sides of the slices evenly.
The apple slices are arranged in a single layer on the baking sheets and baked for one hour before flipping to bake for an additional hour. After baking, the oven is turned off and slices cool in the residual heat for about 30 minutes, aiding in drying them out without burning. If the chips are not sufficiently crunchy, incremental baking continues in 15-minute intervals.
Once fully crisp, the chips are removed and can be eaten immediately or stored in an airtight container to maintain their texture. This technique highlights the natural sweetness and mild spice combination without added sugar or oils.
The recipe recommends using Fuji, Honeycrisp, or Gala apples for their sweetness and crispness, and suggests consistent thin slicing for best results. A mandoline slicer is the preferred tool for uniformity.
Ingredients
- 3 large apple such as Gala, Fuji, or Honeycrisp
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit (90 Celsius).
- Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Wash and thinly slice the apples using a mandoline to about 1/8-inch thick. Remove the seeds from each slice.
- Spread the apple slices closely in one layer onto the baking sheets. Sprinkle with cinnamon on both sides.
- Bake the apples for 1 hour. Flip the apples over and bake for 1 more hour.
- Turn the oven off and let the apples cool in the oven for about 30 minutes before taking out. If the apples are not crunchy, continue baking them in 15 minute increments.
- Remove the apples from the baking sheet and enjoy, or store immediately in an airtight container.
Notes
- Choose naturally sweet apples like Fuji, Honeycrisp, or Gala for better flavor and crispness.
- Slicing apples uniformly thin (about 1/8 inch or less) ensures crisp apple chips.
- Allow the apple slices to cool in the oven after baking to help achieve maximum crispness.
- A mandoline slicer is recommended for consistent thin slices but handle carefully for safety.
