Hey there!

If you’ve ever craved something crunchy but didn’t want to reach for ultra-processed snacks, apple chips are you answer. They’re naturally sweet, satisfyingly crisp, and easy to make at home – no dehydrator required. Whether you’re navigating mid-afternoon energy dips or looking for a kid-friendly treat that won’t spike blood sugar, these little slices of joy deliver.

Why Apples Deserve a Permanent Spot in Your Snack Lineup 🍎

Apples aren’t just convenient, they’re quietly powerful. Each bite offers:

  • Soluble fiber (hello, pectin): Supports digestion, stabilizes blood sugar, and feeds your gut microbiome.
  • Quercetin: A plant compound with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, especially helpful during hormonal transitions.
  • Vitamin C: Boosts collagen production and immune function while supporting adrenal health.
  • Natural sweetness: Satisfies cravings without the crash.

And when you bake them into chips, you get all that goodness in a form that feels like a treat.

Apple Chips for Real-Life Schedules

Apple chips are:

  • Portable: Toss them in your bag for post-workout fuel or a quick work snack between meetings or spreadsheet marathons.
  • Customizable: Add cinnamon, ginger, or even a pinch of sea salt for a flavor twist.
  • Kid-approved: A win for moms who want to nourish without a fight.
  • Batch-friendly: Make once, enjoy all week!

Ingredients

Scale

23 medium apples (Fuji, Gala, or Honeycrisp work beautifully)

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)

A squeeze of lemon juice (optional, helps preserve color)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash and core the apple, then cut it into thin slices. You’ll want the slices really thin, so cut carefully with a paring knife.
  3. Toss slices in a bowl of cinnamon and a touch of lemon juice for extra zing and color retention (optional).
  4. Place the apple slices onto the lined baking sheet in a single layer.
  5. Bake low and slow for 1.5 to 2 hours, flipping halfway through. Keep an eye on them toward the end. They should be dry and crisp.
  6. Cool completely before storing. They’ll crisp up more as they cool.
  7. Store in an airtight container for up to a week (if they last that long! 😉)
