Maple Apple Chips
These have helped tremendously to stave off my sugar cravings and are the perfect grab-and-go snack for busy moms.
I used MacIntosh apples and they didn’t require any special measures to prevent browning. If you think your apples will brown excessively, dip them in a solution of 2 cups water and 2 tablespoons lemon juice right after they have been sliced.
Depending on how strictly you apply the Kitchen Test, spices might be out for Unprocessed. Since I bought my cinnamon whole while in Mexico this summer and ground it myself for the apples, I figured it was okay.

Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 3 medium Apples
- 1/4 cup Maple Syrup
- 1 tsp. fresh ground Cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Mix together maple syrup and cinnamon in a small ramekin or bowl.
- Wash and core the apples using an apple corer.
- Slice off 1/4 of the top and bottom of the apple and discard. Slice the remaining apple using a mandolin set to 1/8 thick.
- Spread the apple rings out onto two parchment-lined baking sheets. Try to avoid overlapping the rings.
- Using a pastry brush, coat apple slices lightly with maple syrup. Place in oven.
- Bake for approximately 2 hours, rotating once or twice. Start checking on them around 30 minutes*.
- They may be slightly pliable when they come out of the oven, but should crisp up when cool.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days.
Notes
*Baking time will vary with apple varieties, thickness of slices, and position in the oven. Keep an eye on them!
