These baked apple chips remind me of the apple snacks I ate as a kid. Serve them instead of crackers or cookies. You’ll need firm apples, cinnamon and sugar. That’s it! They are healthy, easy to make and totally addictive.
Use  a mix of your favorite, crisp local apples for a variety of shapes, textures and flavor. The green apples are tart while the red apples are sweeter.
I especially love JAZZ apples, which are a cross between a Braeburn and a Gala. I bought this bag at Trader Joe’s. (Although I am not receiving any compensation for this blog!)
You will only need a few tablespoons of this cinnamon sugar for the recipe, but it’s nice to have a supply of made up cinnamon sugar ready when you need it.
No need to peel or core apples. Just use a sharp knife and cut apples on the side as shown in the photos. Use the tip of your knife to poke out seeds and remove any fuzz.
For easier cutting, slice apples in half so they lay flat on the cutting board and continue making thin half slices.
Toss with cinnamon sugar and bake in a single layer on 2 or 3 sheet pans.
I like to make these chips AFTER DINNER. Bake for three hours at 200 F and then turn oven off, but leave chips in oven overnight to get perfectly crispy.
Betcha can’t eat just one!!!!!!
These apple chips have so many uses: tuck them into your child’s lunch bag, serve them with a cheese plate, a dish of ice cream or with a dipping sauce like honey or caramel. Or pile them high in a basket or bowl and use them as a table decoration.
