Baked Apple Chips

A delicious and healthy treat! Baked apple chips are easy to make and perfect for an after school snack.
When your aunt calls you and asks if you’d like to split a 100 lb. box of Pink Lady apples, you say, “YES!” I received 50 lbs. then split that with my friend, so in the end I had 25 lbs. of gorgeous Pink Lady apples for our family to enjoy. Besides the typical pies and applesauce that I always make when I have an abundance of apples, I decided to make baked apple chips. I realized that it had been a few years since I made a batch so it was definitely time!

A delicious and healthy treat! Baked apple chips are easy to make and perfect for an after school snack.
We had a dehydrator growing up so my mom would make apple chips, pear chips, and all sorts of dehydrated fruits. We don’t have one, but I do own an oven! 🙂 You can’t make as many in the oven, but the process is just as easy.

These are great to make right after dinner since they need to bake for a few hours and sit overnight. When you wake up, you’ll have an oven full of delicious chips!

Baked Apple Chips

2 apples, thinly sliced (per tray)

lemon juice

cinnamon/sugar

 

A delicious and healthy treat! Baked apple chips are easy to make and perfect for an after school snack.
Slice your apples as thin as possible. A mandolin would come in handy here, but a sharp knife works well too. The thinner you slice them, the crispier they will be.

Lay apples in a single layer on baking sheets that have been covered in parchment paper.

Remove core using a small cookie cutter.

Brush with lemon juice to prevent excessive browning (optional).

Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar (optional)

Bake @225 degrees for 2 1/2 hours. Turn oven off, but keep apple chips inside overnight.

Store in an airtight container for up to a week, although I’m sure they won’t last that long.

NOTE: if you use a mandolin to slice your apples they will cook quicker. So keep an eye on them after 45 minutes or so and when the edges curl, turn the oven off.

    My son loves apple chips like this. I’ve only seen recipes using a food dehydrator and I don’t have one so it’s great to see your version where I can just use my oven.

    Yay! This is so timely for me! I just bought a bunch of apples in bulk marked down and had no idea what I would do with them because I know I won’t be able to eat them all before they go bad. I’ll be trying this recipe tonight!

    I would have never thought of using apples in this way. Is this a traditional American idea or is this your own. They look delicious! I would love you to share this post at my blog party this weekend. Hope you can make it.

    Honeycrisp apples are the best! I went to an apple orchard last week and Honeycris season is over, but I bought some Jonathan and Fuji apples. Drying some sounds delicious.
