Quick and Healthy Snack Recipe
These Microwave Cinnamon Apple Chips are thinly sliced apples coated with a sprinkle of cinnamon, resulting in a delightful crunch that’s both sweet and subtly spicy. They are a great alternative for satisfying your sweet tooth without the added sugars of traditional snacks.
Ingredients
- 2 medium apples (any variety you prefer)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, adjust to taste)
- Cooking spray or parchment paper
Instructions
- Prepare the Apples: Wash and core the apples. Slice them thinly, about 1/8 inch thick. You can use a knife or a mandoline for even slices.
- Season the Slices: In a bowl, mix together the cinnamon and sugar (if using). Lightly spray a microwave-safe plate with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper. Spread the apple slices in a single layer on the plate.
- Sprinkle the Mixture: Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the apple slices.
- Microwave: Microwave the apple slices on high for 3-5 minutes, checking every minute to see if they are crispy. The cooking time will depend on your microwave’s power. Be careful not to burn them.
- Cool and Enjoy: Once crispy, remove the plate from the microwave and let the apple chips cool for a few minutes. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
