⭐Why this recipe works
- Since it only has 3 ingredients, it is an easy recipe to make with kids.
- You can use apples that have some bruising on the outside since they will be peeled and sliced, and you can get rid of the bad parts.
- Cooking them in the oven slowly at a low temperature produces crispy apple chips
🥣Ingredients
- Apples - a sweet variety such as Golden Delicious, Macintosh or Honeycrisp work best.
- Cinnamon - a natural pairing with apples, gives them a delicious spice.
- Sugar - for an added touch of sweetness. You can also use a sugar substitute or skip it entirely.
📋Step by Step Instructions
STEP 1: Peel and slice apples into thin slices.
STEP 2: After the apples are peeled and sliced, place the slices in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. You can also use a cookie sheet with a silicone mat like the silpat mat.
STEP 3: Top with cinnamon and sugar.
STEP 4: Bake at 225 degrees for 1 hour and then remove them from the oven. Flip over the apple chips, add more cinnamon sugar and return to the oven for 1 more hour. Turn off the oven and leave the apple chips in there for 1 more hour with the oven off. This really helps these chips get crunchy.
STEP 5: When the chips are cooked, remove them and place them on racks to cool.
This apple chip recipe makes the crispiest, crunchiest apple chips we have ever tried. The cinnamon and sugar really make them feel like a special treat.
These apple chips won't last very long since they are a delicious snack. You'll also love these Apple Spiders Halloween Snack.
👩🏻🍳Expert Tips
Tip 1: To prepare the apples for this recipe, I highly recommend a mandoline slicer. It just makes slicing apples a breeze and all your slices will be uniform in size. Just watch those fingers as the slicers are super sharp!
Tip 2: After the chips have baked for 2 hours, turn off the oven and leave the apple chips in there for 1 more hour with the oven off. This really helps these chips get crunchy.
🤷🏻♀️Recipe FAQs
The apples I have had the most success with are red delicious, granny smith, pink lady, fuji, honey crisp, and golden delicious.
If you do have any leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container for 3-4 days, but they will not retain the crisp and crunch they had when just made.

I find they usually remain best when stored for up to 1 week.

We are twinning on the "apple tree" abundance issue LOL. Seriously, I never thought of making apple chips with ALL those apples. But I'm going to think about it now. Thanks for the step by step! I'll be coming back to this one! 🙂

I've never tried apple chips but these look so yummy, I love cinnamon! I'd imagine a food processor slicing blade would be good in the absence of a mandolin. I love your tip about keeping them in the oven after it's switched off!
Vicky
