Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut the apples into 1 centimeter thick strips.
- Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on the apple strips.
- Cook until the chips are brown, not black.
Tips & Substitutions
For the best flavor, choose firm, sweet apples like Honeycrisp or Fuji. If you want to reduce sugar, consider using a sugar substitute like stevia or agave syrup. Make sure to slice the apples evenly for consistent cooking. You can also experiment with adding a pinch of nutmeg or allspice for extra warmth. If you're looking for a variation, try pairing these chips with Fresh Peach Or Strawberry Sauce for a delightful dip.
Serving Suggestions
These apple cinnamon chips make a great snack on their own, but you can also serve them alongside yogurt or ice cream for a tasty dessert. They pair beautifully with Russian Tea (Granny Blackstock'S Recipe) for a cozy afternoon treat. For a more substantial option, consider serving them with a cheese platter or as a topping for oatmeal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover apple cinnamon chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If they become soft, you can re-crisp them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes. This will help restore their crunch, making them a perfect snack once again. Avoid refrigerating to maintain their texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of apples for this recipe?
Yes, you can use various types of apples! While sweet varieties like Honeycrisp and Fuji work best, tart apples like Granny Smith can also add a nice contrast to the sweetness of the cinnamon and sugar. Just keep in mind that the texture and sweetness may vary.
How do I prevent the apple slices from browning?
To prevent browning, you can soak the apple slices in a mixture of water and lemon juice for a few minutes before seasoning. This will help retain their color and freshness. Just be sure to pat them dry before adding cinnamon and sugar.
Can I make these chips in an air fryer?
Absolutely! An air fryer is a great way to achieve crispy apple cinnamon chips. Simply place the seasoned apple strips in the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook at 300°F (150°C) for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.
