Baked Apple Crisps

Food & Nutrition

Baked apple crisps are the perfect fall snack — easy to make and endlessly craveable. You can even use them to spice up cereal or yogurt.

Ingredients

Preheat your oven to 200° F. Place racks in the upper and lower thirds of your oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Wash the apples. Core the apples if you have an apple corer. If not, simply pick out the seeds as you're preparing your apples.
With a mandolin or a very sharp knife, slice the apples horizontally into 1/8 inch-thick rounds.
Arrange the apples in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
Bake for 1 hour in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. After 1 hour, switch the positions of the pans, moving the upper pan to the lower rack and the lower pan to the upper rack. Continue baking for 1 to 1 1/2 additional hours.
Test crisps by removing a single apple chip from the oven and set out at room temperature for 2 to 3 minutes.
Once you are happy with the crispness (the total time will vary based on the thickness of your slice and the type of apple), turn off the oven and let the apples sit in the oven for 1 hour, as the oven cools down, to crisp further.
Enjoy as a snack or use the crisps to top your favorite yogurt, cereal or oatmeal.
