These Bake Cinnamon Apple Crisps are a delicious healthy snack alternative. They're easy to make and only require two ingredients.
- 1 apple
- cinnamon to taste
- 1 tsp almond butter optional
-
Preheat convection oven to 215°. Wash apple and cut 1/8” thick slices with a mandolin or sharp knife.
-
OPTIONAL: Cut out center seed area with a knife or a small diameter cookie cutter. If you have an apple corer, use it before slicing the apple.
-
Sprinkle one or both sides with cinnamon. In this recipe, I sprinkled half the batch with cinnamon only. My husband is not crazy about the spice, so I left the rest without so that he can enjoy them too. They are just as delicious without cinnamon!
-
Place sliced apples on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 215° for two hours, flipping the apple slices after one hour. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 3 minutes. They will be very crispy once they cool.
- Baking times are reduced when you use a convection oven because it has a fan that continuously circulates hot air inside the oven. This is different than a conventional oven, which simply surrounds the food with heat. The added hot air of a convection oven helps cook food more quickly.
- If you are using a conventional oven, this recipe may take a little more time. You can still flip the slices after one hour, but they might need a little more time to crisp than two hours.
- Please note that they will seem slightly soft when you remove them from the oven. They'll be crispy after they cool, about 3 minutes later. Test one chip at the two-hour mark to see if they're ready.
