Baked Apple Chips are easy to make with only four ingredients. These crispy, crunchy chips are the perfect snack year-round.
Although apple chips really shine during the fall apple season, they are a snack that my family loves year-round. They are a portable, on-the-go snack for road trips and bag lunches, but we also like them for after-school and bedtime snacks.
The only thing you need to ensure you have when making baked apple chips is TIME. They need to bake on low heat for a longer period of time. So, plan to make them on a day or evening when you will be staying close to home.
How To Make Baked Apple Chips
Use a mandoline slicer to cut the apple into thin slices. I filled two cookie sheets with slices and used about three apples.
Mix together brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground cardamom.
Put the apples on a parchment-covered baking sheet. Sprinkle with half of the cinnamon sugar mixture. Bake at 220°F for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Remove from the oven, flip the apple slices over, and sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture. Return the pans to the oven, rotating the pan from the top rack to the bottom rack.
Bake at 220°F for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Remove a couple of baked apple chips and let them cool on a plate on the counter for a couple of minutes to see if they get crispy. If so, you are done.
If not, continue baking until the apple chips feel dry to the touch and crisp up within a couple of minutes of cooling.
