These chips are not just tasty; they are also a healthy snack option. You can feel good about enjoying them anytime! - Preheat your oven to 200°F (90°C). - Wash the apples well.

I like to use Granny Smith, Fuji, or Honeycrisp. They all work well! After washing, slice the apples thinly. A mandoline makes this easy, but a sharp knife works too. Make sure to remove any seeds as you slice. - Combine cinnamon, coconut sugar, and salt in a bowl. Next, you'll make the cinnamon sugar mix. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon, 1 tablespoon of coconut sugar, and a pinch of salt. This mixture gives the chips that sweet and spicy flavor. Mix it well, so the flavors blend together nicely. - Arrange apple slices on baking sheets. - Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture and bake. Now it’s time to arrange the apple slices. Lay them out on baking sheets in a single layer. Make sure they do not overlap. This helps them bake evenly. Once the slices are arranged, sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over them. Use enough to cover all slices well. Place the baking sheets in the oven. Bake for about 1 to 2 hours. Check them around the 1-hour mark. You want them to be crisp and slightly curled at the edges. When they are done, take them out and let them cool on the baking sheets. They will get even crispier as they cool. Enjoy your healthy snack! To make crispy apple chips, slice the apples thinly. Aim for about 1/8 inch thick. Thinner slices crisp up better. If they are thick, they will stay soft. Check the chips often while baking. Start checking for doneness around the one-hour mark. They should look curled and feel crunchy to the touch. Want to boost the flavor? Try adding a pinch of nutmeg or a drop of vanilla extract to the cinnamon-sugar mix. This adds warmth and depth to your chips. You can also use brown sugar instead of coconut sugar. Brown sugar gives a richer, more caramel-like taste that pairs well with apples. A mandoline makes slicing easy and uniform. It helps you get those perfect thin slices quickly. If you don’t have a mandoline, a sharp knife works too, but it takes more time. For baking, use parchment paper to line your sheets. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze. Plus, it helps the chips bake evenly. {{image_2}} You can use many types of apples for these chips.

For the holidays, try adding a hint of nutmeg or cloves. These flavors pair well with cinnamon. They make your snack feel festive and fun! You can adjust the sweetness of your chips. If you want them less sweet, use less sugar. To make them savory, skip the sugar and add herbs. Thyme or rosemary can work well. This gives your chips a unique flavor. Experiment with what you like best! To keep your baked cinnamon apple chips fresh, use an airtight container. Glass or plastic containers work well. I recommend using a container that seals tightly. Store the chips at room temperature. They will last up to one week if stored correctly. Cooling the chips is very important. After baking, let the chips sit on the baking sheets until they are cool. This step helps them to become crispier. If you store them while warm, they may become soggy. Patience is key here! If your chips soften, don’t worry! You can re-crisp them easily. Simply place them back in the oven. Preheat the oven to 200°F (90°C) and bake for about 10 to 15 minutes. Check them often to avoid burning. They should return to their crunchy state. Yes, you can! Try nutmeg or pumpkin spice for a twist. Ginger adds a nice kick too. Just remember to balance the flavors so one spice does not overpower the others. Granny Smith, Fuji, and Honeycrisp work great. Granny Smith gives a tart taste, while Fuji and Honeycrisp offer sweetness. The choice depends on your flavor preference. The chips should be crisp and slightly curled at the edges. Start checking around the one-hour mark. If they feel soft, give them more time. They continue to crisp as they cool. Absolutely! A dehydrator is perfect for making apple chips.

Ingredients
  

3 large apples (your choice: Granny Smith, Fuji, or Honeycrisp)

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon coconut sugar (or regular sugar)

Pinch of salt

Cooking spray or parchment paper for baking

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 200°F (90°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly coat them with cooking spray.

    Wash the apples thoroughly and slice them very thinly (about 1/8 inch) using a mandoline or a sharp knife. Remove any seeds as you slice.

      In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon, coconut sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to combine.

        Arrange the apple slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they don’t overlap.

          Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the apple slices.

            Bake in the preheated oven for about 1-2 hours, checking them periodically. Start checking for doneness around the 1-hour mark; they should be crisp and slightly curled.

              Once crispy, remove them from the oven and let the chips cool completely on the baking sheets. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.

                Once cooled, store the chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
