Below are simple and quick instructions on how to make apple chips:
Ingredients:
- 2-3 medium-sized apples (choose sweet varieties like Fuji or Gala)
- Optional: Cinnamon, nutmeg, or other spices for seasoning
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C).
-
Prepare Apples: Wash and core the apples. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, thinly slice the apples into rounds about 1/8 inch thick. For best results, try to slice them evenly.
-
Season (Optional): If desired, sprinkle the apple slices lightly with cinnamon, nutmeg, or other spices for added flavor.
-
Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray. Arrange the apple slices in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap.
-
Bake: Bake the apple slices in the preheated oven for 1.5 to 2 hours, flipping them halfway through the baking time. The apple chips are done when they are dry and crisp, but not burnt.
-
Cool and Enjoy: Remove the apple chips from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. As they cool, they will continue to crisp. Enjoy as a healthy and tasty snack!
Tips:
- Slice Evenly: Slice the apples as thinly as possible to ensure even crispiness and baking.
- Storage: Store any leftover apple chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a few days. If they lose crispiness, you can reheat them in a low oven to restore their crunch.
These homemade apple chips are a nutritious alternative to store-bought snacks, providing a naturally sweet and crispy treat that everyone will enjoy!
