Best apples for dried apple chips:
This is the big question. When we first started making this recipe it was a struggle to find the right apple variety. In fact, I didn’t even realize how many apples there really are!
After some testing, we found the best apples for apple chips are golden delicious or pink lady apples. I found a lot of great info on apple types from this site.
Step by Step Instructions:
No need to buy fancy kitchen gear for apple chips! All you need is a sharp knife, your favorite apple variety, and your oven! How to make apple chips in the oven:
- Slice your apples thin. It is best to do this with a mandolin slicer, but a sharp knife will work as well. Be sure to watch your fingers!
- Lay your apple slices out on a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.
- Bake for one hour at a low temperature. Flip, turn the oven down, and bake for an additional hour.
The secret to a crisp chip with a soft and chewy center is to allow the apples to cool completely in the oven. When the final baking hour is complete simply turn the oven off. Let them sit for 4-8 hours or until completely cool. From there, transfer to a zip top bag or air tight container.
