Delectable Homemade Apple Chips
There’s nothing quite like the satisfying crunch of a fresh apple chip. Whether you enjoy them as a snack on the go or as a topping for your morning yogurt, these apple chips are sure to become a favorite in your household!
Ingredients
- 4 medium apples (your favorite variety)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Parchment paper for baking
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 225°F (107°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Wash the apples thoroughly. Using a sharp knife, slice the apples thinly (around 1/8 inch thick) for the best results. You can use a mandoline slicer if you have one for even thickness.
- In a bowl, toss the apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning. If you’re using cinnamon and sugar, sprinkle it over the apple slices and toss until evenly coated.
- Spread the apple slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 1.5 to 2 hours, turning the slices halfway through. Keep an eye on them during the last 30 minutes, as baking times may vary depending on your oven and the thickness of the slices.
- Once they are crisp and golden, remove the apple chips from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Enjoy your homemade apple chips as a satisfying snack or a healthy addition to your lunch box. They are perfect for sharing, so why not whip up a batch today? You’ll be amazed at how easy it is to create these delightful treats that are both nutritious and delicious!
