Baked Apple Chips

Whilst looking at other blogs I came across a method of baking slices of apple to make apple chips.  It was so easy that I thought I would give it a go.  Teena also commented that she liked apple chips and I was curious to see what they tasted like.  You can see the original recipe from Patricia at ButterYum.


Step 1. 
Preheat Oven to 200°C / 400°F.
Slice and core apples.  I wanted to do a heart shape in the middle but was having trouble carving it out with a knife.  Then Teena came along showed me the easy way to do it using the apple corer. 


Step 2.
Arrange apples on a lightly greased baking tray.


Step 3.
Pop the tray in the oven, reduce heat to 75°C / 170°F.
Bake for 2 hours.

Our chips came out very crunchy.  You should be able to make them chewier by taking them out of the oven sooner.  I used a sweet apple, Pink Lady, and it was very tasty.  You could really taste the flavour of the apple still.  We might try it again sometime with a different type of apple, probably baking it a little less to make them a bit more chewier and a little less crunchy.

  6. These were yummy! The heart was easy, two wholes made side by side with the apple corer to form the heart cheeks, then two cuts with a small knife to form the corner. Lol. fun! <3

  7. Love the heart in the middle! This will be a hit for my 10 year old daughter, she is beginning to love our time in the kitchen and this looks just right for her to make. Thanks so much...
