Paleo Plan

Better-Than-Store-Bought Apple Chips

Makes two servings.

Approximate cooking time: 60 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups unsweetened apple juice (if possible, juice your own from about 5-6 large apples)
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 2 large apples
  • ground cinnamon

Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 250° F.
    2. In a large pot over high heat, combine apple juice and cinnamon stick. Bring to a low boil.
    3. Remove top and bottom of apple and slice crosswise to make 1/8 thick “chips.” Discard any seeds.
    4. Carefully drop apple slices into boiling juice and cook 4-5 minutes. Apple slices will appear translucent.
    5. Use a slotted spoon to remove apple slices from juice and place on a clean cloth towel. Pat dry.
    6. Place dried apple chips on a wire cooling rack placed on a cookie sheet (this will catch any drips).
    7. Bake 30-40 minutes until apple slices turn golden brown and are almost dry to the touch.

    I make apple chips using my dehydrater by washing the apples coring them and slicing them with the skins on dipping them in a solution of water and lemon juice. dry them a little and sprinkle with cinnamon and dry. YUMMY

    What temp should the oven be set to?

  3. Jonathan Butler

    This recipe doesn’t give the oven temperature. What temp should the oven be set to?

    @Neely – Where does it state to preheat? I’m not seeing it anywhere. :(

  5. Meg

    I don’t see the temperature listed anywhere, not even the first line. Is 250 the actual temp for the oven?

    • Neely

      @Meg – Sorry, everyone! We’re working on it. Will be fixed today.

    I tried making these and they never got crispy… just mushy. :-( Did I cut the apples too thick? Maybe temperature needs to be higher?

    • Neely

      Srl – Maybe you didn’t bake them for long enough? If they’re mushy, it just means there’s still moisture in them. Not sure – sorry!

    This recipe is a huge waste of time. If the apple chips turn out or not. just eat the apples or if you really want apple chips put the chips in a dehydrator. Pick something better and choose a recipe that won’t make you feel like an old lady stiring the apple chips in the oven.

    This is my second time making these. I REALLY like them! Thanks for the recipe!

    I made these these last night. The last night. Although the process was simple, it was time consuming. As Gabe stated, just eat the apple.

    when do you add the ground cinnamon?

    As someone who doesn’t have-or can’t afford a dehydrator, and is looking for a different way to snack on apples, this is great. Despite the time it will take to do this.
    Seriously people, if the recipe isn’t for you, that’s nice, but there are people out there that look for stuff like this.
