Crispy Apple Chips
Homemade crispy apple chips are a remarkably delicious snack!
From the author, Honor Fabun: Autumn is upon us, and I can’t get enough! Last week I took a trip to the apple orchards and came home with 60 pounds of fruit. This crispy apple chips recipe is one fun way to enjoy them.
From Plant-Based on a Budget: If you’re curious about stepping up your healthy homemade snacks game, these Crispy Apple Chips should be at the top of your list. Learning how to make these is a great way to save some money, reduce your processed snack consumption and make your house smell like a (cinnamony) heaven.
A mandolin slicer works great for achieving paper-thin, uniform slices. However, if you don’t have one (I don’t) a sharp knife and some patience works just fine.
Give these crispy apple chips a try! They are super budget-friendly and easy to make.
The Ingredients and Substitutes
- Apples: 2 firm, medium-size apples
- Sugar: 2 teaspoons (granulated)
- Cinnamon: ½ teaspoon (ground)
- Nutmeg: Just a pinch
How to Make Crispy Apple Chips?
Keep scrolling to the recipe card for the complete list of ingredients and recipe instructions!
- Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F (107 degrees C). Slice apples into very thin rings. I leave the core in because I think it makes a prettier apple chip, but you can remove it if you like.
- Place the apple rings on a lined baking sheet in a single layer.
- Mix together sugar and spices in a small bowl.
- Sprinkle the sugar-spice mixture over the apple rings.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven. Baking time will depend on the thickness and water content of your apple slices. They should be done in 1 ½ to 2 hours. You’ll know they’re finished when they’re crisp. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes & Tips
- Thin slices are best! If you slice the apples more than ⅛ inch thick, they will still be delicious, but they won’t be as crisp.
- Enjoy these sweet apple chips as a chopped on top of salads, on top of oatmeal, and, of course, right out of the container!
The Best Apples for Crispy Apple Chips
Any sweet-crisp apple will do nicely. Pink Lady, Gala, Fuji, and Honeycrisp are four widely available ones. Consider trying a mix of apples for a nice variety of chips.
