Description
Make your own healthy and satisfying Baked Cinnamon Apple Chips at home. Thinly sliced apples are baked until crisp with a sweet cinnamon coating, offering a wholesome alternative to traditional snacks.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large apples (Fuji, Gala, or Honeycrisp work best)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon granulated sugar (optional, adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 225°F (107°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Wash and core the apples. Using a mandoline or a very sharp knife, slice the apples as thinly as possible (about 1/16 inch thick).
- In a medium bowl, gently toss the apple slices with cinnamon and sugar (if using) until evenly coated.
- Arrange the apple slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, making sure they do not overlap.
- Bake for 1 hour, then flip the apple slices. Continue baking for another 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the chips are dry and crisp. The baking time will vary depending on the thickness of your slices and your oven.
- Turn off the oven and leave the apple chips inside for another 30 minutes to cool and crisp further.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely before storing.
Notes
- For best results, use firm, crisp apples like Fuji, Gala, or Honeycrisp. Softer apples may become chewy rather than crisp.
- Slice the apples as uniformly thin as possible to ensure even baking and crispness.
- Store cooled apple chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-5 days. They tend to soften over time, so enjoy them fresh.
