Looking for some simple homemade healthy snacks for kids? Here is a two ingredient baked recipe – Apple chips. All you need is some crisp apples and powdered cinnamon. If your apples are tangy you can use some powdered sugar. You can whip this up in no time.
Luckily apples are available here all the year around. I used honey crisp apples for this recipe and I peeled the skin off unless you are sure that there are no wax coats. The other key thing with this recipe is the baking time. It completely depends on how thin your apple slices are. I baked it for 12 minutes at 350 degree F and flipped it and baked it again for 12-13 minutes. After 12 minutes when you are flipping depending on the moisture content you can set the cooking time. Make sure you keep an eye on them. Once the apples starts to curl up you can remove it and let it cool.
Before getting into today’s recipe, here are my apple recipes – Kid’s Friendly Apple Sauce, Apple Thokku, Sugar Free Apple Rabadi.

Hi… interesting recipe ..I tried it,but somehow it went wrong..I sliced apples so thin..after 5 min..the apples pieces was sticky to aluminium foil…I waited for around 15 min bake time..but still apples soft..I used gala apples
Hi Sharmila, thanks for trying it out. Gala does take some time. Instead of aluminum foil try it in parchment paper. I baked it 12 mts on one side n 13 mts after flipping and cooled it. Also I kept in middle rack of my oven.
That is one very easy to make and healthy snack for kids.
Thanks Pavani

These chips are so expensive when you buy them at stores, but so simple to make. Ever since I made my own, I stopped buying these. They look perfect and very tempting!
I totally agree. Especially if we go for organic it becomes even more expensive. But these are super easy to prepare at home. Thanks
They look so pretty and I am sure taste great!
Thanks Varada.
I should book mark these..they look so healthy.
