Organic Apple chips
I am in love with these organic Apple chips. Granted you can buy them at the store but these are so easy that I don’t mind making them at all, plus they don’t have none of the unwanted chemicals these normally have to keep fresh!
I have been wanting to make these organic apple chips for a long time so after contemplating the recipe for a while I just felt I had to go ahead and try them.
I am so glad I did because I will be making this for time to come. Not only because they were really good but because they were easy, healthy and trying with pears next time is something that I really want to do next.
I was press for time while making these so I kind of skipped the rotating and turning of the pans. They still came out great though so I think you can go ahead and do the same thing I did.
I also did not have a mandoline, just a knife, so my apple slices could have been a bit thicker than normal, even still they turned out as chips and where really good.
I stored my chips on a zip log bag for a day. That is how long they lasted.
I hope you get to try these. They could be a great healthy gift for the coming holidays.
Here is the before and after pictures. You can see that my apple slices aren’t that thin since I used a knife instead of a mandolin. Even still they were really good. These are the perfect snack for any one.

Bake for 45 minutes ( bake for one hour if you think your slices are a bit thicker. I did since I didn't have a mandoline), then flip and brush the other side with syrup and sprinkle again with cinnamon.
