These homemade apple chips are a simple, kid-friendly snack made from thinly sliced apples baked low and slow until perfectly crisp. Lightly seasoned with apple pie spice, they’re naturally sweet, easy to prep, and great for lunchboxes or afternoon snacks.

Equipment
- 1 Apple corer
- 1 Spiralizer
Ingredients
- 2 Apples
- 1 teaspoon apple pie spice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 225°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Wash the apples and remove the cores.
- Use a spiralizer to slice the apples into thin, even rings.
- Spread the slices out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, making sure none of them overlap. Sprinkle the apples lightly with apple pie spice (½ teaspoon per baking sheet, spread evenly).
- Bake for 2 to 2 hours and 15 minutes, or until the slices are fully dry and crisp around the edges, checking them toward the end of the cook time to make sure they don’t over-brown. Let the apple chips cool completely on the baking sheets before storing.
Notes
For safety, I strongly recommend using a spiralizer rather than a mandoline for this recipe. A spiralizer can create thin, even slices while keeping your hands farther away from the blade.
