These spiced apple chips are a far and delicious cry from the subpar grocery store variety.
Crispy and sweet, with no added sugar and just a sprinkling of cinnamon and nutmeg, they make a perfect snack to satisfy midday (and late night) cravings.
Simple and delicious. And who can resist that adorable little star in the middle?
Spiced Apple Chips
Ingredients:
Apples. Any number of any variety. (You can't really mess this part up.)
A dash of cinnamon
A pinch of nutmeg
Directions:
Preheat oven to 220F, and line two large baking pans with parchment paper.
Using a knife or a mandolin, slice apples as thin as possible. Lay them side by side on a baking sheet, being careful not to overlap, lest you want conjoined chips.
Gently and carefully sprinkle a thin coating of cinnamon on the chips, and follow with a light dusting of nutmeg.
Bake for one hour, flip the slices, and bake for one hour more. Place on a wire cooling rack. Chips will crisp up as they cool.
Apple chips are always my number one purchase at farmer's markets. Now I don't have to wander out to the winter market when it's chilly out to get my fix. Thanks!
ReplyDeletecan you do multiple trays in the oven, does it still work.....2 hours in the oven is a long time, for just one tray....but totally want to try these! :)
ReplyDeleteI did multiple trays and it worked perfectly. Let me know how they turn out! Hayden loved them :)
DeleteI would use a dehydrator, since I have one. You can dehydrate just about anything!
DeleteThese are absolutely beautiful! Love the addition of nutmeg.
ReplyDeleteI'm making a batch right now :) i wonder what would be a good dip for them
ReplyDeleteAre they crunchy like chips? Or are they more soft like a dried apple?
ReplyDeleteCrunchy like a chip!
DeleteOh, those look delightful!
ReplyDeleteWhat is the nutrition facts for them?
ReplyDeleteI've no idea of the specifics, sorry! I'm sure there's websites that can calculator it for you, but I don't frequent diet and weightloss sites.
DeleteOne apples' worth of apple slices is not going to have more calories than one apple (80-100 calories), because the cinnamon and nutmeg have virtually no calories...
DeleteIt doesn't look like you coded the apple? And how did you get the slices so thin? I tried making apple chips once and that was the hardest part leading to chewy apples in the end...please, do share your apple slicing process :)
ReplyDeleteI used a mandoline! It makes life so much easier. I don't use it that often, but when I do I'm always so thankful I made the purchase.
DeleteCored*
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of apples did you use? Or what would be the best apple to use?
ReplyDeleteWonderful! And these are so overpriced in the stores. My favorite salad uses these and now I'll always have exactly what I want! Thank you for sharing! I too, like the addition of nutmeg for extra flavor, although I can never get enough cinnamon ;)
