Apple Chips – Thin and crispy Apple Chips made in the microwave! All you need is a few minutesbefore you can devour this delicious and super healthy Fall snack.
Those recipe-introduction lines up there make me sound like the most annoyingcar salesman. Or, recipe salesman, in this case. My husband sells cars… I hope he’s not this annoying. 😉
HI, Friends! What’s goin’ on?Are you suiting up for the weekend? Just a few more hours and you’ll get to flop onto that couch and Facebook-all-the-people for the next 48 hours!
Oh, hey. Remember that one time when we didn’t have Facebook? Like, the times when your little cousin was YOUR LITTLE COUSIN and you didn’t have to know everything about her teenage life via the duck-face pictures onyour Facebook news feed??
Or, or, when your child’s teacher was just a teacher and you didn’t even know that she had a first name, but thanks to Facebook, she has a firstname ANDshe drinks beer on the weekends?! Remember those days before you knew all this stuff? WOW. That was thelife. At least all my duck face pictures are on a polaroid… and in my possession, only.
And, and, how about that one time when you baked sliced apples in the microwave and ate all the apple chips?? I felt like the healthiest being on the planet.
So, I don’t have patience. I know that baking apple chips for hours on end, in the oven, and letting them dry just a little bit longer is the correct way to go about this apple-chip biznass, but I just can’t.I’m as anxious as a child on early Christmas morning. I want all the things, and I want them now.Stat.
Look at the yellow tint up there… What a beautiful action shot! 😛 BUT, that picture serves a purpose, and it’s described in two words; SINGLE LAYER. Remember those words…
Just minutes after coming home from the Apple Orchard last weekend, I was slaving over the mandoline, trying to save my fingers while slicing my Honeycrisps. Without adding a single crystal of sugar, nor a drop of cinnamon, I popped them in the microwave oven and within minutes, I had my fix. It was wonderful.
Healthy. Crispy. Fall-y. Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Vegan, Vegetarian… I got it all covered.
You should totally make some while thinking about what to do with all them apples. Then, you should totally come back in a day or two and see what else I did with them apples!
Happy Weekend!
ENJOY!
Apple Chips {In the Microwave}

Thin and crispy Apple Chips made in the microwave!
Cut off the ends of an apple, core out the middle (I don't), and thinly slice into 1/8-inch rounds. This is best done with a Mandoline Slicer, but you can also use a sharp knife.
Line a microwave safe plate with parchment paper.
Place a few apple slices on parchment paper in one single layer. (You will have to do this in batches.)
Microwave for 4.5 to 5 minutes, or until edges of apples start to curl up.
Flip each slice and continue to microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until edges are crisp.
Remove from microwave and let stand 10 minutes, or until crispy and dry.
Serve immediately.
Notes
All microwaves are different; start watching the apples at about the 4-minute mark until you can determine the proper time needed to bake the apples in your microwave. If the apples are small, about 2-inches in diameter, decrease the time by 1-minute. RECIPE SOURCE: DIETHOOD

Keep in mind that the chips will not be crunchy right when you take them out of the oven. Let them sit for 10 to 15 minutes; magically, they will have crisped up! They may need 10 more minutes in the oven if they haven't. Be careful not to overbake them because they will crisp outside the oven.
Bake the slices on the upper and lower racks for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and turn each slice over; return the pans to the oven. Bake 1 more hour for soft dried apples or about 2 more hours for crispy apple chips.
Treat apples before drying to prevent excessive browning. The treatments also help to preserve the flavor and vitamins of the fruit. The simplest pre-treatment is to soak freshly cut slices for 10 minutes in a solution of one part bottled lemon juice to one part water.
Dried Apples are among the healthiest and most convenient of dried fruits. Dried apples possess many of the same health-giving properties as fresh apples. It may come as a surprise to learn just how widely available dried apples are nowadays.
Apple M-series chips are vulnerable to a side-channel attack called “GoFetch,” which exploits data memory-dependent prefetchers (DMPs) to extract secret encryption keys.
The difference lies in their starch content and structure. Waxy potatoes are amazing for boiling as they keep their shape, but floury potatoes fry up crisper. Use a floury (also called mealy) potato such as Russet or Shepody for your chips and you'll have better success.
To air dry apples, you'll want to remove the stem and core them. Then, mix them in a lemon juice-water mixture to prevent them from turning really brown during the drying process.
Arrange the apple slices on lined baking sheets, making sure they don't overlap. Optional: Sprinkle with ground cinnamon and a touch of sugar. Bake the apple slices in the oven for 3+ hours, or until they are crisp and dry. Occasionally open the oven door to let the moisture escape.
Place the apples in the sun on a warm (or hot) day.
Keep them out as long as the sun is out. Cover the apples loosely with cheesecloth to protect the fruit from any pesky bugs. In the evening, before the dew falls, bring the apple slices indoors so that they do not get moldy. Place the tray in a dry spot in your house.
Wash the apples and peel if desired. Remove the seeds and core using an apple corer or paring knife. Slice the apples into ¼"-⅜" thick rings or slices using a mandoline or sharp knife. The thinner they are, the crispier they will become in the dehydrator.
The best apples for dehydrating don't need much embellishment. If you want crisp dehydrated apple chips for snacking, choose tart types of apples like Granny Smith, Macintosh, Cortland, or Jonagolds. They're lower in sugar and thus have a sharper flavor and hold their shapes well.
Allow 6 to 12 hours for apple slices to dry. Test for dryness. Remove a few slices from the dryer and wait a few minutes until cool. Apples are dry when they are pliable and no beads of moisture form when pressed between your fingers.
There is no special area reserved just for the CPU or just the GPU. Memory is allocated to both processors. They can both use the same memory. This means that no copying is needed and so things go faster.
Red Delicious apples are the healthiest from an antioxidant standpoint, Crumble Smith says. The darker the color of the apple, the richer it'll be in antioxidants.
Why are my dehydrated apples not crispy? This means you haven't dehydrated your homemade apple chips for long enough. You can place them back into your dehydrator for longer.
Just make sure you add enough melted butter to coat everything: it brings it all together. Your day-old mush will turn back into the warm and crunchy crisp once more if you reheat in the oven at 350°.
Unripe or overripe apples may have a soft or mealy texture. When an apple is mature, its cells are fully developed and filled with moisture, contributing to its crisp texture. This ideal moisture level is best achieved with refrigeration to extend the apple's crunchy texture.
They roast in hot circulating air, convection heat, which is uneven. The chips are hotter where they have contact with the pan and oil. If the oven isn't hot enough to brown the chips on the 'air-side', or if there's not space for the heat to circulate around each chip, they'll be unevenly crisp.
