Low heat from the oven removes the moisture, caramelizes the natural sugars, and crisps up these apple chips. A light dusting of cinnamon gives them a warm, sweet flavor perfect for snacking.

How to Make Baked Cinnamon Apple Chips

Step 1: Prepare the apples

The key to getting crispy apple chips is to slice the apples very thin… 1/8-inch thin.

Begin by washing the apples well under cool running water and dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Use your sharpest knife, place the apple on its side, and carefully slice horizontally through the apples.

A mandoline slicer is perfect for the job of cutting the apples into thin even slices. Don’t forget to use the slicing guard that comes with it.

Step 2: Place the apples on baking sheets

Once the apples are sliced, place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and sprinkle each side with cinnamon.

If you have one, use a tea or fine mesh strainer to sift the cinnamon evenly on the apples. If not, just sprinkle the cinnamon on and spread it out with your fingers. Be sure to coat both sides.

Step 3: Bake the apples low and slow

Pop the baking sheets into a preheated oven and slow bake.

The apples will bake gradually in low heat removing the moisture, concentrating the flavors, and crisping up the fruit to a crunchy chip.

Step 4: Test the apples for crispness

Apples will continue to crisp up while cooling. To test for crispness, remove a couple apple chips from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Fold the cooled apple chip in half. It should snap when you bend them. If the apple chip is flexible and leathery, bake for 15 minutes more and test again.

Step 5: Let the apple chips cool

Once your apples are done, turn off the heat and let them cool in the oven for 30 minutes. The heat from the oven will evaporate any lingering moisture. Remove the apple chips from the oven and let them cool completely before storing in airtight containers.

Ways to Enjoy Baked Cinnamon Apple Chips

While eating right out of the jar is our preferred way of enjoying baked apple chips, here are some other ideas:

Use as a Topping: Crumble the apple chips and use to top oatmeal, fall salads, and yogurt.

Apple Cinnamon Tea: Make apple tea by steeping two apple chips in a mug with a cinnamon stick and a little honey.

Garnish Fall Dishes: Use apple chips to garnish fall soups and desserts.

Add to Granola: Toss chopped apple chips into homemade granola (recipe coming soon).
