Print Recipe

A simple, healthy baked snack made with thinly sliced apples and cinnamon, baked low and slow for a crispy, flavorful treat without added guilt.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large apples (about 24 ounces or 680 grams), firm varieties like Fuji, Honeycrisp, or Granny Smith
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar or coconut sugar (optional)
  • Non-stick cooking spray or parchment paper for lining baking sheets

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C).
  2. Wash and core the apples, leaving the peel on for extra fiber and texture or peeling if preferred.
  3. Slice the apples thinly to about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thickness using a mandoline slicer or sharp knife.
  4. Toss apple slices in a mixing bowl with lemon juice for about 5 minutes to prevent browning.
  5. Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar (if using) over the apples and toss gently to coat evenly.
  6. Arrange the slices in a single layer on parchment-lined baking sheets, ensuring they do not overlap.
  7. Bake for 1 hour, then carefully flip each slice to the other side.
  8. Bake for another 1 to 1.5 hours until the slices are dry and crisp but not burnt.
  9. Remove from oven and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely, allowing them to crisp up further.
  10. Store in an airtight container at room temperature; best eaten within a few days but can last up to a week if kept dry.

Notes

Slice apples uniformly about 1/8 inch thick for even baking. Baking low and slow at 200°F prevents burning and ensures crispness. Flip slices halfway through baking for even drying. Use lemon juice to prevent browning and add brightness. If chips soften after cooling, reheat in a low oven for 10-15 minutes to crisp up again. Avoid overcrowding baking sheets to prevent sogginess.
