Baked Apple Chips with a light cinnamon sugar dusting, a great sweet healthy treat when your craving a sweet treat!
Well the weather is finally beautiful around here, in fact I am sitting in my house right now as I right this with the windows open and a cool breeze gently coming in. HEAVEN!
Tomorrow we plan on going to the pumpkin patch by our house. They have tons of pumpkins in all different sizes, a chili cook off, pony rides, and inflatables for the kiddos. Personally I just can’t wait to put Cason in the middle of the pumpkins and take pictures! Yippee! I mean really kids are so cute surrounded by a bunch of squash, right? 🙂
With all the fall festivities I thought I would whip up some fall inspired snacks.
I saw a couple of friends of mine post recipes on baked apple chips and I wanted to give them a try. When I saw the pictures and recipes I thought that they would be crunchy like a chip, but they actually tasted more like dehydrated apples. The slight hint of the cinnamon sugar mixture placed on top was a perfect sweet addition to these apple chips.
To get started, preheat oven to 200º. Core 3 small gala apples using an apple corer and thinly slice.
Place apples on baking sheet with silicone mat or wax paper underneath for easy cleanup.
Mix 1 Tablespoon of sugar with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Sprinkle the top of the apples with the cinnamon sugar mixture. {keep in mind you do not have to use all of it, I also only dusted one side}
Bake fore 1 hour. Flip apples over.
Bake for an additional hour. Remove from oven and let rest. Serve when ready.

I tried the recipe but was left with non crunchy/dehydrated textured apple chips. I read the recipe through 2 or 3 times and followed it. Any ideas why I didn’t get the crispy apple chip result? Thanks:) Jake
Hey Jake,
Yeah, I had the same outcome. I think I was expecting crunchy apple chips too, took a while to get use to but they were still good.
I am actually going to try it again to see if I can make them crunchier too. My guess for making them crunchier would be to slice them paper thin {almost using a mandoline board} and then cook them for a little longer. I looked at some other recipes and it said the same thing. ๐ We are in this one together. If you find something that works too, totally let me know! ๐

These look great – bet my family would love them. BTW – your cored apples look perfect. I recently made a apple gratin and used a paring knife to core them and they looked so hacked up. Share your secret?
Secret is… ready… an apple corer from Bed, Bath, and Beyond for $7.99. ๐ I was way to lazy to try and figure out how to do it with a paring knife. But best invest ever! I have used it 3x already since buying it a month ago. ๐ Hope you and the fam enjoy these yummy chips! BTW the apple gratin sounds amazing!
