Are apple chips good for you?
Homemade apple chips can definitely be a healthy snack option! Since they are made with fresh fruit, they are a perfect for grab-and-go healthy treats. This recipe does call for a little sugar. You can leave that off and use the same baking concept for a sugar free version!
What apples are best for homemade apple chips?
- Gala apples give you a very sweet chip. We like this one best. The bold apple flavor shines through and there is less of a tartness.
- Fuji are available year round, which makes them convenient.
- Honeycrisp apples are our favorite all-around variety. Drying them enhances the flavor we already love and makes our favorite apple chip!
How do you dehydrate apples in the oven?
No need to buy fancy kitchen gear for apple chips! All you need is a sharp knife, your favorite apple variety, and your oven!
- Slice your apples thin. It is best to do this with a mandoline 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.
