1

Preheat oven to 200º F. Line two baking sheets with a non-stick baking mat or parchment paper.
2

Wash apples, dry and then thinly slice each. Spread apple slices in a thin layer on prepared baking sheets. If desired, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
3

Bake for 1 hour and then flip slices over. Return to oven and continue baking another 1 to 2 hours. If apples are not crisp by this time, turn oven off and leave apples in oven to cool for about an hour. If you want a little chew to your apples, remove them before they get too crisp.
4

Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

If some of your apple slices are thicker than others, the thick slices may not get as crisp as the thin ones.

It’s easy to make your own chips from apples. Today I’m going to share one of the easiest and good for you snacks: apple chips! With the start of a new school year and fall quickly approaching, I’m ready to start turning on the oven and baking with apples. Apple pies, fritters and crisps are some of my favorites, but today I really want to give you a snack to munch on throughout the day. Typically when I make apple chips I only use apples. Yes, just one ingredient is all you need! But sometimes on colder fall days, I need a little cinnamon and sugar in my life and I’ll add a generous sprinkle to each apple slice. It’s SO good. I will warn you though: Eating the entire batch in one sitting is not hard. The good thing is, these chips are so good for you, they’re guilt free! Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week. One more thing: If some of your apple slices are thicker than others, the thick ones may not get as crisp.
