Baked Apple Chips
Baked Apple Chips are a healthy snack recipe that will satisfy your craving for something sweet and crunchy. Slice, bake, and eat!
Ingredients
- Fresh apples sliced 1/8" thick, see notes for recommended varieties
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees then line a half sheet pan with a silpat or parchment paper. Line with apple slices (they can touch but not overlap,) then bake for 2 hours, rotating the pan halfway through, or until an apple chip crisps up after sitting out and cooling for 2-3 minutes. Keep sheet pan in oven while testing the apple chip for doneness.
- If you're baking more than one pan at a time, plan on adding an extra 20-30 minutes of baking time.
Notes
- I recommend an OXO Good Grips Mandoline Slicer to uniformly slice the apples.
- Use a cookie cutter, icing tip, or other round cutter to remove hard centers from the slices prior to baking.
- Crispy apples like Honeycrisp, Fuji, and Pink Ladies will hold up better through the slicing process.
- The color of the final apple chip depends on the variety of apple you're using. Crispier apples like Honeycrisp will stay lighter throughout the baking process vs softer apples like Priscilla. The taste is not affected.
- Chips tend to curl a little more when baked on parchment paper vs a silpat.
- The time it takes for the apple slices to fully crisp up depends on the individual apple - just keep baking even if it takes longer than 2 hours - they'll get there eventually!
- Store leftover Baked Apple Chips in a Ziplock bag or airtight container for up to 3 days.
