Anti-Inflammation Cinnamon-Spiced Apple Chips
These anti-inflammation cinnamon-spiced apple chips are a simple, wholesome snack with a satisfying crunch. Made with just three ingredients, they’re perfect for a healthy treat, and the cinnamon adds anti-inflammatory benefits while enhancing the flavor.
Equipment
- Baking sheets
- Parchment paper
- Mandoline or sharp knife (optional, for slicing apples thinly and evenly)
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp raw cane sugar optional
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 Granny Smith apples cored and thinly sliced
Sugar-Free Variation:
- Triple the cinnamon
- Omit the raw cane sugar
Pears Alternative:
- Substitute apples with 2 pears cored and thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 275°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix the raw cane sugar (if using) and ground cinnamon together in a small bowl until evenly combined.
- Arrange the thinly sliced apples in a single layer across the parchment-lined baking sheets. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the apple slices.
- Place the baking sheets in the oven and bake for about 1 hour, or until the apples are dried and lightly browned.
- Once baked, remove the apple slices from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for approximately 15 minutes to allow them to crisp up further.
- Transfer the cooled apple chips to an airtight container. They can be stored at room temperature and enjoyed within a week.
Notes
- For a chewier texture similar to fruit leather, reduce the baking time slightly.
- These chips are great for snacking, and the cinnamon helps reduce inflammation while adding a warm, sweet flavor profile.
- For variety, try mixing in a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom with the cinnamon.
