Healthy Apple Chips Recipes

APPLE CHIPS

Steps:

• Place racks in the upper and lower thirds of your oven and preheat your oven to 200 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silpat mat.
• Wash the apples. With an apple corer, very small cookie cutter, or the round side of a metal piping tip, core the apples (you can also skip this step if you don't mind a few seeds in the chips). With a mandolin (recommended) or a very sharp knife, slice the apples horizontally into 1/8 inch-thick rounds.
• Arrange the apples in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake for 1 hour in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Remove the baking sheets and switch the pans' position on the upper and lower racks. Continue baking for 1 to 1 1/2 additional hours, until a single apple chip removed from the oven is crisp when set out at room temperature for 2 to 3 minutes (to test the apple chips, remove a single apple slice but let the others continue baking). Once you are happy with the crispness (the total time will vary based on the thickness of your slice and the type of apple), turn off the oven and let the apples sit in the oven for 1 hour as it cools down to crisp further (unless you fear you overcooked them, in which case remove the pan immediately and let it sit at room temperature).

BAKED APPLE CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk sugar and cinnamon together in a large bowl. Add apple slices and toss to coat. Arrange apple slices in a single layer on prepared baking sheets.
• Bake apples in the preheated oven until browned and just crisped, about 2 hours. Cool completely.

HEALTHY APPLE CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 175 degrees. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring sugar and 1 cup water to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, slice apple lengthwise into 1/16-inch thick slices using a mandoline, continuing to the core. Turn, and slice the other side of apple; discard core.
• When sugar has completely dissolved, place 5 or 6 slices of apple into the sugar syrup and simmer for 20 seconds. Using a slotted spoon, transfer slices to a wire rack to drain. Repeat process with remaining apple slices.
• Lightly brush 2 baking sheets with vegetable oil and arrange apple slices in a single layer. Bake until apples are crisp, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. The apple chips will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
