Cinnamon-Spiced Apple Chips

Cinnamon-Spiced Apple Chips

For my first post, I thought I’d keep it simple- cinnamon-spiced apple chips! These are so easy and delicious, require only two ingredients, and there’s no need to measure anything, all pluses in my book. Even better, I feature apples in my blog header, making this recipe even more appropriate for my first post.

I started with a fresh Fuji apple from my CSA. Not sure if you can tell in this picture but this apple was huge!

To make these chips, I used a mandoline to thinly slice the apple. There’s no need to peel the apple, especially since there is a ton of fiber and vitamins in the skin. If you don’t have a mandoline, a sharp knife works too. Just be super careful if you use a mandoline! I (knock on wood) have yet to have an accident, but it is all too easy to slip and slice a finger when using or cleaning one.

Next, I removed the seeds and placed the slices on sheet trays lined with parchment paper.

I sprinkled cinnamon all over the apple slices and then placed the trays in a preheated oven for 2 ½ hours, flipping halfway through.

Here’s the finished product. Yum 

This batch only lasted about 5 minutes before they were gone- a perfect snack or dessert. I’ll have to make them again and experiment with new spices! Have you made apple chips before? What other spices or toppings have you used besides cinnamon?
