If your kids aren't already back in school, they will be soon. The Sunday Supper Tastemakers have been busy in the kitchen recipe testing our favorite back to school recipes to help this hectic time of year be a little less stressful. Armed with our favorite recipe collections for Hot Lunch Ideas, Back To School Dinners that will save you time and money, and even Sleepover Food Ideas to help you throw the best sleepover party of the year, you'll be prepared for back to school meal times. This week we are tackling after school snacks, because kids come home hungry and need to refuel so they can tackle their homework.
Baked Apple Chips
Apple chips are easy to bake at home, they taste delicious, and make a healthier after school snack than chips or cookies. Apple chips have fiber that help satisfy hunger until dinner is ready, and you'll feel good feeding a snack that's better for your kids that they actually want to eat too! Apple Chips can be eaten as is, dipped in a creamy yogurt dip, or even added to pancakes for an exciting breakfast option. I love how versatile they are!I also love how portable they are! Apple chips make a delicious treat to send in the lunch box or take for a healthy snack option on a car trip, shopping trip, or even on a hike. They keep well and can easily be tucked inside a baggie to be enjoyed on-the-go.
How To Make Baked Apple Chips
To make homemade baked apple chips you just need your favorite apples, a baking sheet or two lined with parchment paper, and your oven preheated to 225°F. I like to toss the apples in some cinnamon sugar for that little extra somethin' somethin', but if you don't want any added sugar that is completely optional.You do need to slice the apples thinly, so I recommend a mandoline slicer to tackle that task easily, but you can use a sharp knife too. I don't bother coring the apples. If you slice them with the core you get a nice star shape in the center the kids love. Just be sure to pick out any stubborn seeds as needed.

How To Make Baked Apple Chips
Published 08/20/2017
Ingredients
- 2 Red Delicious, or your favorite apples, thinly sliced (I leave the core intact and use a Mandoline
to slice the apples thinly)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Salted Caramel Sauce
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 225°F degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. I like to use the Parchment Sheets
. They are so convenient!
- Place apple slices in a large bowl and toss with 1.5 teaspoons sugar & 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, trying to lightly coat the apples evenly. Place apples in a single layer onto Baking Sheets
.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and then turn each apple slice over and bake for an additional hour or until the apples are dried and the edges are curling. Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack
.
- While the apples are baking you'll have plenty of time to make my Homemade Caramel Sauce Recipe. Serve the apples with the caramel sauce drizzled over french vanilla yogurt for a delicious after school snack your kids will love! Enjoy!
Prep Time: 10 mins.
Total time: 2 hrs. 10 mins.
I used to have a dehydrator and made apple chips all the time. Thanks for an oven recipe!
ReplyDeleteYes, I'll take mine with your caramel drizzled yogurt!
ReplyDeleteI slice my apples the same way (to dehydrate)--I think they are so pretty like that!
