Healthy Apple Chips!

I love making healthy apple chips! They are a guilt free snack or treat and they are so easy to make! I have found that the best way to slice the apples is by using a mandolin so that they are super thin. If you don’t have a mandolin don’t sweat it, you can just slice them as thin as possible. The thinner they are the faster they will cook. If you use a knife to cut the apple slices just remember to allow some extra time for cooking so they turn out perfect. I like to sprinkle cinnamon op top of my slices but if you’re not a cinnamon fan then just don’t use it. I love cinnamon because of the wonderful flavor it adds but it also helps reduce inflammation in the body.

Apple Chips

Ingredients/things you will need:

• 1 large baking sheet or 2 smaller ones
• 1 tbsp. Coconut oil
• Cinnamon
• Apples (I use 4-5 organic Gala apples)
• 1 tbsp. Lemon juice
• Mandolin or sharp knife
• Parchment paper
• Silicone brush

Apple Slices!

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 250 F
2. I usually use 4-5 Organic Gala Apples when I make apple chips. I use the mandolin to slice them up thinly. Place in a medium-sized bowl.
3. Squeeze 1 tbsp. of lemon juice on top of the apple slices and give them a careful toss. If you mix them too much they will fall apart so be gentle!
4. Melt 1 tbsp. of coconut oil
5. Line 1 large baking sheet or 2 smaller baking sheets with parchment paper.
6. Add the apple slices to the baking sheet. Try not over lapping them and lay them out in one single layer.
7. Using your silicone brush you can now lightly brush the apple slices with coconut oil and sprinkle them with cinnamon.
8. Pop them into the oven for about 45 minutes.
9. Just continue this process until you have baked all your apple slices.
10. Allow to cool off once cooked and ENJOY! 🙂
