BAKED APPLE CHIPS
Apples are a staple in our house, for munching on while reading books, as a great snack for the kids while running errands and of course, perfect for my baking projects. If there is one apple treat I remember well from my childhood is my Grandma's apple chips. She made the best ones and always had a bag of them for us when we came to visit! Now, I make apple chips for my kiddos and they love them. It's a healthy snack that I feel good about giving to my kids.
How to make Baked Apple Chips?
- Wash and slice apples very thin. Arrange slices on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
- If desired, sprinkle with cinnamon.
- Bake apple chips in 220 degrees F oven for 1 hr 20 minutes, flip each slice onto the other side and bake another 20 minutes.
- Turn off oven and leave chips inside for another hour, until chips are dry.
What type of apple should I use?
You can use any type of apple to make these chips. Popular ones include Granny Smith, Fuji, Gala or Honeycrisp.
Tip for making the best Apple Chips:
The only tip here is to make the slices really thin. They will bake quicker and be nice and crispy. Also, I recommend coring the apples before slicing. My kids definitely like the cored apple chips better. You can sprinkle the apple chips with cinnamon sugar just before baking or just baked the slices plain.
Can I use my dehydrator to make these Apple Chips?
Yes, if you have a dehydrator, you can use it to make crisp apple chips. Set it to 135 degrees F, and dehydrate apple slices for 6 to 8 hours.
How long does it take to make baked apple chips?
The total time, from slicing to ready chips, in this recipe is about 3 hours. If you are using a dehydrator, it will take 6 to 8 hours.
