I've had a crazy busy week, so I haven't enjoyed any time in the kitchen, but I wanted to post something for the 4th and thought about these yummies.The only time these baked apple chips required of me was the time it took to slice the apples and preheat my oven. It doesn't get more simple than this folks. I plan to make lots of these for the kid's lunchboxes when school is back in session.
And hey look, they have a built-in star motif - perfect!
Happy Independence Day!
Baked Apple Chips
Arrange thin apple slices in a single layer on a greased or lined baking tray. Place into a preheated 400F oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 170F; bake for about 2-2 1/2 hours, depending on how thick they are, and how crispy or chewy you like them.
Note - I don't sweeten mine, but some like to give them a sprinkling of powdered sugar. Ground cinnamon would also be a nice touch.

Ohh, I'm definitely making these. They look so great and so easy to make. And that's a really healthy snack. Just awesome!
ReplyDeleteHappy Independence Day!
This sounds like an awesome snack! Especially when apple season comes and we are swimming in apples! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI felt like I could never make something like this without a dehydrator. I'm excited to try them.
ReplyDeleteSooo pretty, healthy and delicious..the all-American treat. No need for sugar, cinnamon is perfect. Thanks and happy 4th!
ReplyDeleteLook pretty and healthy! Happy Independence day to you!

Thanks, that sound good and easy!
ReplyDeleteLove your apple chips - I want to give this a try!
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty and appealing - really a special thing for little snacks!
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th to you!
ReplyDeleteHow pretty! These would look cute in a bowl on the coffee table - much more festive than Chex mix.
ReplyDeleteOh so pretty and looks so good. Happy 4th..Christine
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I think this is a perfect snack. Can't wait till I get some good Honey Crisp Apples.
ReplyDeleteI tried this yesterday. It was so easy and they were really tasty!
ReplyDeleteAnother gorgeous photo and a great idea for apples!
ReplyDeleteYummy! I love apple chips! Looks easy, i'm going to try them soon. We are missing you on HCB..
ReplyDeletePretty picture. I had no idea making apple chips was so simple. I hope you get some time soon to make another HCB cake. I always look forward to seeing how you decorate.
ReplyDeleteLove this idea! Missed it on my feeder, but found a link from Dave's Home Cooking.
ReplyDeletehey there im new to your blog, and this is such a great idea! will be trying it soon as i've got way to many apples in my fridge. do you know how long they would store for?
ReplyDeleteTalk about a crispy healthy little bite! These sound so delicious! I think I'll make these for a snack to have around the house for the weekend!
ReplyDeleteI now have AC- or at least it just got turned on- so by tomorrow I'll get out my granny smith's and make some!
Arn't they just darling!

What a delightfully easy recipe. I'll have to give these a try. I hope you are having a wonderful day. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteGood day! I saw your photos on flickr and had to check out your blog! How inspiring that you started with no experience and now cooking what looks to be absolutely amazing food with 4 kids!! I am 26 with 3 children under 4 and been cooking consistently almost 3 years. I still feel like a beginner as my children do cramp my kitchen style with their picky taste bugs, but it's a challenge I love to take. Like you I like to do everything I can from scratch. So sorry about the long comment, I just love running across foodies- especially mom foodies with lots of children! Have a great day. Look forward to perusing through your blog!!!
ReplyDeleteI love apple chips and yours look delicious. Much better to make your own with no perservatives like the ones in the store.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so easy and it's a great way to use up apples and less calories than making apple pie or cake. Thanks!
ReplyDeletePS The Wildlife Refuge has been located on Broad Channel Neighborhood of Queens since the 70's, but it doesn't get much publicity. It's part of the national parks system now. Very interesting!
I had no idea these were so easy to make! Can you dry other fruits this way too? I will definitely be whipping these up for fall lunches. Thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteThese look wonderful! We just picked up some organic apples at our farmer's market and this will work nicely. My daughter is 10 and just beginning to love her time in the kitchen. I think we will try these with a dusting of sugar and cinnamon for a snack on the go.
ReplyDeleteJust stopping by to say I have been missing you!

Yummy and what a cute post for the 4th. I never noticed the star shaped center. My mother in law makes these and we can't get enough.
ReplyDeleteThese are fun and I did get a dehydrator for Christmas...:@)
ReplyDeleteGreat healthy snack idea. I'll keep this bookmarked for when it isn't 95 degrees and our ac is running. I try to avoid the oven in the summer, but in the fall will be perfect during apple season.
ReplyDeleteGood morning! I love apple chips but I've only eaten the Seneca ones. I'll have to try these since they're healthier and less expensive. Have an awesome weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'm having a senior moment because I thought that I had commented here, but I haven't.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea. I can taste them in my head right now with cinnamon on them. And wouldn't the house smell so wonderful if you did it in the fall? (Because I think apples/fall in my head)
Nice peeking in, Patricia! The apple slices do look really good. Looks like you cut them super thin. Did you use a knife or a slicer?
ReplyDeleteI love this recipe and I cannot wait to make them! Thank you so much for sharing. These would be great to dip in caramel!
ReplyDelete<>< Concetta
Wow! What a great recipe! I can't wait to make these for my clan!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is very cool Patricia. I'm going to be using this recipe forever!!
ReplyDeleteThank-you for the congrats. That was super cool coming from you and Kathia, my two friends.

ReplyDeleteThese look good!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog!
Eating a batch right now!
ReplyDeleteABSOLUTELY DIVINE!
QUICK QUESTION:
ReplyDeleteDO YOU PUT THE APPLES IN THE OVEN RIGHT AFTER LOWERING THE TEMPERATURE TO 170F..?
AND WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO STORE THEM?
THANKS!!
Hi - Yes, put them in right after you lower the temp to 170F. Once the apple chips are completely cool, I store them in a zip top bag - we eat them within a week or so.
