Have you ever considered making your very own Homemade Oven Baked Apple Chips? Yet another way to enjoy apples! It’s amazing how different an apple tastes once the moisture is removed.

APPLE CHIPS

Naturally sweet, healthy and totally addictive. Making this apple chips recipe is a lot easier than you think and it makes for the perfect snack when the munchies hit. Truly the perfect way to transform all those apples!

What do I need to make apple chips?

Apples. Any variety works well with this recipe.

Any variety works well with this recipe. Cinnamon. A sprinkle of this warm, comforting spice adds just the right amount of flavor.

As far as accessories are concerned, you will need a very sharp knife and a cutting board. You will also need a baking sheet and some parchment paper.

How to make Apple Chips:

Making apple chips is really a two step procedure.

Slice and bake.

That’s all there is to it!

You can also sprinkle the top of the apple slices with a little cinnamon. If you love the flavors associated with Pumpkin Spice, that is a great alternative!

Some recipes will also have you dip the apples in lemon juice to prevent browning, I personally think that the browning gives the apple slices more character.

Other recipes will also have you add some sugar to the apple slices, something I also think unnecessary, as the apples carry so much natural sweetness already.

There are literally hundreds of different varieties of apples to choose from, ranging in color from yellow, green, red, and pink. Experiment and see which ones you like best. The apple you choose will, unsurprisingly, affect the taste of the final product.

Nutrition tip: Not all chips are created equally. When you’re craving something crispy, these Homemade Oven Baked Apple Chips are definitely an excellent alternative to the store-bought variety. Just like fresh, raw apples, these chips are a great source of fiber (soluble and insoluble). Just be mindful of how many you are eating!

ORIGINS OF RECIPE FOR homemade oven baked apple chips:

I love eating any kind of fruit and vegetable chips (apple, strawberry, plantain, sweet potato…) but as in most commercially prepared products, there is a tendency to add a little too much salt and sugar.

When I first discovered how easy it was to make oven chips (from this article), I got hooked. Just like this recipe for Oven dried Strawberries or this recipe for Sun dried Cherry Tomatoes, these Apple Chips can easily and conveniently be made in your own oven. Just recently I tried making Banana Chips at home and they were a huge hit with my family.

As an added bonus, your whole kitchen will be filled with the sweet smelling fragrance of apples and cinnamon.

Apple season has arrived and I, for one, am absolutely thrilled. However there are so many ways to enjoy apples through out the year!

Here are some of my favorite ways: they can be simmered to make this recipe for Apple Fig Herbal Tea, or made into an Easy Homemade Spiced Apple Butter or perhaps even consumed as the Best Ever Baked Apple.

If you prefer muffins, how about this recipe for Apple Pie Muffins, or perhaps you will enjoy this recipe for an Almond Apple Square Cake. Can you tell I just love apples!

Apples are truly the perfect snack and can be eaten in baked goods, fresh or even dried, as homemade oven baked apple chips.

Enjoy!!!
