    You want to talk about a snack that is super easy and actually good for you, these Fuji apple chips are the perfect fall snack. It is a great way to use fresh apples when they are in season. Be careful though, they won't last long.

    I've been wanting to make some homemade apple chips for quite a while, but just never got around to it for some reason. But that changes today! I guess in the back of my mind, I was waiting to get a dehydrator, which we don't have (maybe one day). But you honestly don't need it for these.

    The key is to bake at a really low temperature (200°F) for 2-3 three hours. Oh and it's also important to be able to slice the apples thin so if you have a mandolin it will make things much easier.

    What's crazy about this recipe is it's only two ingredients! I haven't looked back at all my recipes I've shared to date, but I imagine this is the least amount of ingredients I've ever used.

    Oh and these are way healthier than what you would buy at the store, as these aren't loaded with sugar. When you think about it, most healthy recipes don't have a ton of ingredients. I just use some apple pie spice to sprinkle over the apples and believe me, it gives them great flavor.

    If you don't have apple pie spice, don't worry as it's easy to make with cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg. And if you only have cinnamon, that will work too. So if you're looking for a healthy snack, I'd give these Fuji apple chips a try! You might just be making them weekly! And if you're looking for another fall-inspired snack, try this pumpkin granola.

    Recipe Ingredients

    • Apples - use your favorite apples.
    • Apple pie spice - buy at the store or make your own.

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 200°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Wash the apples. With an apple corer, knife, or the round side of a metal piping tip, core the apples (you can skip this step if you don't care about the seeds).
    2. Using a mandoline, set to ⅛ inch thick and slice the apples horizontally. You can also use a knife but obviously it's hard to remain consistent.
    3. Arrange the apples in a single layer on the two baking sheets. Sprinkle the apple pie spice over the apples. Bake for 1 ½ hours then flip the apples and bake for another hour.
    4. You'll know they're almost done when you remove one apple chip and it's crispy after 2-3 minutes. Turn oven off and let the apples sit for 1 hour. Remove and serve immediately or store in airtight container at room temperature for 1 week.

    FAQs

    Does It Matter What Type of Apples I Use?

    No. I love Fuji apples but you can really use whatever apple you like - whether it's Granny Smith or Honeycrisp or Gala.

    Can I Make My Own Apple Pie Spice?

    You don't have to buy apple pie spice. You can just make at home. Mix 1 ½ tablespoon ground cinnamon, 1 ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg and 1 teaspoon allspice.

    Can I Use A Dehydrator?

    As I mentioned above you can easily make apple chips in a dehydrator. Just set the dehydrator to 135°F and cook the apples for 6-8 hours or until they have reached your desired consistency.

    Pro Tips/Recipe Notes

    • Pick good, fresh apples.
    • Slice the apples thin and consistent. Using a mandoline helps but you can use a knife if needed. You want them to be ⅛ inch thick.
    • Mix it up with the spices. I personally love to use apple pie spice but you can use cinnamon with sugar, ginger, nutmeg, cloves or even pumpkin pie spice. Yes pumpkin pie spice will work just fine as it is just a combination of the spices mentioned previously.
    • Lay the apples in a single layer so they cook evenly.
    • Cook the apples low and slow. Bake at 200°F for 2-3 hours. Mine take about 2.5 hours.
    • Let the apples sit in oven for an hour with the oven turned off. The apples become crispy as they cool.
