🍎

Mommy Tiana started making these to stretch a big bag of apples before they went soft, and the slow oven time turned into an easy Sunday-afternoon project. They last long enough that there's usually still some left by the following weekend.

🧺 Ingredients

  • 3 apples, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Slice thin: Slice apples as thinly and evenly as possible, removing seeds. A mandoline helps here.
  2. Arrange: Lay slices in a single layer on parchment-lined baking sheets. Sprinkle with cinnamon if using.
  3. Bake low and slow: Bake at 225°F (107°C) for 1.5-2 hours, flipping halfway, until dry and crisp.
  4. Cool and store: Cool completely on the tray — they crisp up further as they cool.

💡 Chef's Tip

Slice consistently thin (about ⅛ inch) so every chip dries at the same rate — uneven slices means some stay chewy.

🥗 Pairs Well With

  • Not applicable — pair with a handful of homemade trail mix or cheese cubes for a balanced snack plate

❄️ Storage & Freezer Notes

  • Pantry: store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks once fully cooled and crisp.
  • Freezer: not necessary given the long shelf life, but they can be frozen for up to 3 months.
  • Re-crisp: if they soften, a few minutes back in a low oven restores the crunch.

👶 Kid-Friendly Serving Ideas

  • A fun alternative to store-bought fruit snacks with no added sugar.
  • Let kids help arrange the slices on the tray before baking.
  • Pack a small bag for lunchboxes or after-school snacking.
