Ingredients:
- 2-3 medium-sized apples (such as Fuji, Gala, or Honeycrisp)
- 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup (or agave nectar)
- 1-2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- Optional: A pinch of nutmeg
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash and thoroughly dry the apples. Using a mandoline or a very sharp knife, thinly slice the apples (about 1/16 inch thick). Consistent thickness is key for even baking!
- In a large bowl, gently toss the apple slices with maple syrup and cinnamon (and nutmeg, if using) until evenly coated.
- Arrange the apple slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they don’t overlap.
- Bake for 2-3 hours, or until the apple chips are crispy and slightly browned. Flip the chips halfway through the baking time to ensure even drying. The baking time will vary depending on the thickness of your slices and your oven.
- Let the apple chips cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up even more as they cool.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Tips and Variations:
- For extra flavor, try adding a squeeze of lemon juice before baking. This will also help prevent browning.
- Experiment with different spices like ginger, cardamom, or pumpkin pie spice.
- If you don’t have maple syrup, you can use agave nectar or another liquid sweetener.
- Watch the apples closely during the last hour of baking to prevent burning.
Enjoy your homemade vegan baked cinnamon apple chips! They’re a healthy and satisfying snack that you can feel good about eating.
