Apple chips are thinly sliced apples that are lightly sprinkled with cinnamon, then baked until pleasantly crisp. Healthy homemade apple chips are a remarkably addictive snack. Unlike their store-bought counterparts, however, this apple chips recipe uses no sugar and the chips are baked, not fried. This is healthy snacking at its finest! These chips are a hover situation.

Because these baked cinnamon apple chips are a healthy snack, you can hover to your heart’s content. Turned out perfect the first time. I can’t believe how easy the recipe is.

About These Apple Chips My first experience with homemade apple chips was elementary school, when my dad purchased a food dehydrator and decided that we were going to dry everything. At one point, we had such a backup of assorted dried fruit and jerky that we probably could have hiked the Appalachian Trail. While I don’t plan on purchasing a food dehydrator myself anytime soon, I still love apple chips and, fortunately, they are easy to bake in the oven. You can make them truly crisp, versus chewy, similar to ones you’d find in a shiny bag. They don’t require an extra piece of bulky kitchen equipment that takes up precious counter space. While I baked these often when Ben was in law school, I hadn’t busted out a batch in years. After bringing home a particularly large apple haul from my local Wisconsin grocery store, however, I decided to refresh my memory and try making them once more.

Dear Apple Chips, I won’t forget you again. I promise your house will smell magnificent by the end. Your cinnamon baked apple chips will be crispy, and after one bite, you’ll be hovering over the pan too! Aside from being totally delicious, apples contain vital nutrients like vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants that have been shown to boost heart, brain, and digestive health. I used a mix of different Wisconsin apples, but any sweet-crisp apple will do nicely. If you find yourself with a surplus of apples, check out my list of healthy apple recipes for inspiration.
