    apple chips

    The perfect snack: completely allergy free, no added sugar, baked, needs no refrigeration, and irresistible. Apple chips are great!

    I have no idea where the morning/early afternoon went...

    I woke up at my usual 7:29 wake up time {yes, 7/29 is my birthday; I'm a weirdo, I know}

    And now I just realized that I forgot to make these apple chips again to take prettier pictures. {update: I tried to take "prettier" pictures. These just aren't very photogenic. I cover mine in cinnamon and they get pretty brown in the oven.}

    So they are currently baking in the oven. {update: I polished off the entire two pans of apple chips in less than 6 hours, with about 1/3 being eaten while they were baking}

    Until those are done {update: now they are done. See above comment}, I will be using the old pictures I took over a year ago from the last time I made apple chips.

    These are so good, even though my photos aren't great.

    Here's why they are wonderful:

    Completely allergy free

    Perfect for snacks - anytime! They need no refrigeration and can last up to a week at room temperature.

    And best of all, they are full of pure fall deliciousness.

    I might even go as far as saying these are addicting.

    I need more baking sheets so I can make huge batches. This small batch only lasts me a day or two {or 6 hours}.

    I love eating them when I'm craving something sweet {maybe like these stupid pumpkin candy corn things!}

    I like keep a little baggie of the apple chips in my purse when I am running errands.

    They are great for lunch boxes too, and they are so much cheaper than the store bought ones.

    I think two apples cost me less than $2 and makes tons of chips {enough for at least 4-6 servings}. Those bagged things have a lot less and cost a lot more.

    These are worth making for sure.

    Even if they don't take very pretty pictures. Like I've said before... don't judge a recipe by it's picture

    Ingredients

    • 2 apples {Honeycrisp, Fuji, Gala, Green}
    • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
    • 1 teaspoon lemon juice optional {it gives it extra flavor & keeps them from browning too much}

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 200°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment or foil.
    • Slice apples very thinly. It's easiest to use a mandolin, and slice them almost as thinly as possible. {See below for slicing tips}
    • Toss the apple slices with the cinnamon & lemon juice, if using.
    • Arrange apple slices on prepared baking sheets in a single layer. Bake in preheated oven for 90 minutes. {Make sure you put them all in at once. If you have too many and need to do more baking pans, wait until the first two pans are completely dry.}
    • Flip apple slices. Bake another 60-90 minutes, until apples are completely crisp {bake a little more if they are not completely crisp}. Cool completely, and transfer to an air-tight container.
    • They keep at room temperature for up to 1 week.

      These look really good and healthy. Did you use lemon juice on your chips? I am assuming that the lemon juice is to help keep the chips from browning. Is that right?

        Thanks! I used them lemon juice to add a little extra flavor & to keep them from browning too much. Even though they look pretty browned, I did use lemon juice. I think they just get pretty dark in an oven. I wish I had a dehydrator 🙂
