Baked apple chips / apple crisps

A really easy recipe for homemade baked apple chips. With a hint of cinnamon, they make a delicious and really simple snack for kids.

We had a few apples lying around that needed used so I thought I’d turn them into baked apple chips or apple crisps. Hannah likes the packets you can buy in the kids snack aisle of the supermarket but they’re really easy to do and much cheaper to make yourself.

We added some cinnamon to the apples before we baked them which I think adds a nice flavour. But if your kids aren’t keen on cinnamon you can easily skip that step.

If you have young children, they probably can’t cut the apples themselves but they can still help mix them with the other ingredients and lay them on the baking tray. They might also like seeing how the heat of the oven changes the texture of the apples and turns them nice and crispy.

Difficulty: Easy

Time: 10 minutes plus 2 hours baking

Serves: 4

Ingredients

3 apples
1 tsp caster sugar
1 tsp cinnamon

how to make baked apple chips

Preheat your oven to 90C / 190F and line a baking tray with baking paper.

Slice your apple

Cut your apple into thin slices. If your kids are a bit older they could do this themselves, or if they’re a bit too young still, get them working on the next steps while you cut the apple up.

Mix the apple in the sugar and cinnamon

Get your kids to measure the sugar and cinnamon into a bowl, and add the apple slices. Give it all a good mix until the apple is coated with the mix.

Bake the apple crisps

Place the apple slices on the prepared baking trays.

Bake in the oven for around 2 hours, turning the slices once half way through.

Remove from the oven and leave to cool.

They’ll keep for a few days in an air tight container.
