Storage

Store completely cooled Apple Chips in an airtight container so they stay as crisp as possible. They are best enjoyed within 3 to 5 days, although humidity may make them softer sooner. Freezing is not recommended because thawing can make the apple slices soft and chewy instead of crisp.

FAQs

Can I make these baked apple chips ahead of time?

Of course! Make a batch ahead and let them cool. Then store them in the fridge. You can pack them for lunch, or anytime you need a snack.

Why are my apple chips chewy?

Maybe they haven't cooled completely. Give them more time to cool before checking the texture. Make sure the apples are cut into thin slices. Also, spread them evenly on the pan so they bake properly.

What kind of apples do I need for this apple chips recipe?

Any medium-sized apples or large apples can work, as long as they are firm. They hold their shape during cooking and baking. McIntosh apples can also work if you enjoy their softer texture and natural sweetness. Choose an apple you already enjoy eating since its flavor will become more concentrated.

How do I slice apples evenly for apple chips?

You can use mandolins to make quick and even slices, but a sharp knife works well too. Try to keep the apples in thin slices, so they cook evenly. Add a little cinnamon for extra flavor and sweetness if you have a sweet tooth.
