Ingredients
2 Golden Delicious apples, cored and thinly sliced
1 ½ teaspoons white sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C).
2
Arrange apples slices on a metal baking sheet.
3
Mix sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl; sprinkle over apple slices.
4
Bake in the preheated until apples are dried and edges curl up, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Transfer apple chips, using a metal spatula, to a wire rack until cooled and crispy.
Key Points About Ingredients:
- Golden Delicious apples are ideal here because their natural sweetness and firm flesh hold up beautifully during slow baking, producing evenly dried, crispy chips without turning bitter.
- Ground cinnamon not only adds warm, comforting flavor but also contains antioxidants and has been linked to supporting healthy blood sugar levels.
- Using just 1½ teaspoons of white sugar across six servings keeps the added sugar minimal while still enhancing the apple's natural sweetness.
- Slicing the apples as thinly and uniformly as possible — ideally with a mandoline — ensures even drying and a consistent, crispy texture throughout the batch.
Key Nutritional Insights:
- Each serving is naturally low in calories and fat, making these chips a smart swap for processed snack foods.
- Apples provide dietary fiber, including pectin, which supports digestive health and helps you feel fuller for longer.
- The added sugar per serving is minimal — less than half a teaspoon — keeping this snack relatively low in added sugars.
- Apples are a good source of vitamin C, an antioxidant that supports immune function and skin health.
