Baked apple chips are a simple, healthy snack you can enjoy at home or on the go. Keep some at home, at the office or with you in a sandwich bag for when you need a quick energy boost. Buying pre-made apple chips is rather expensive. Try making your own with a few simple ingredients.
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
2. Pour 4 cups unsweetened apple juice into a large pot. Add two cinnamon sticks and bring to a boil.
3. Cut off the top and bottom portion of each apple and discard. Hold the apple firmly, and use a sharp knife to slice into 1/4-inch chips.
4. Add slices to boiling apple juice. Return to a boil and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Lift apple slices out of apple juice with a large slotted spoon. Place slices on paper towels to absorb excess juice and pat dry.
6. Spread slices into a single layer on wire cooling racks and place on middle shelf in oven. Bake 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven when slices are golden brown.
7. Leave apple chips on racks to cool. Serve alone or with a cup of yogurt for a healthy snack. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
