Caramel Apple Pie Chips

Course Snack
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 2 hours 30 minutes
Cool Time 30 minutes

Equipment

  • mandolin

Ingredients

  • 3 large crisp apples of choice such as Honey Crisp Fuji or Pink Lady
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil such as avocado or vegetable
  • 40 drops Hedessent Apple Pie Flavour Drops
  • 25 drops Hedessent Caramel Flavour Drops
  • 20 Hedessent Vanilla Cookie Flavour Drops
  • Salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 200° F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  • In a small bowl, combine the oil and all flavour drops. Set aside.
  • Using a mandolin, carefully slice the apples into approximately 1/8-inch thick rounds. Alternatively, you can use a sharp knife to slice the apples as thinly as possible (if using a knife you will need to bake the longer as they will be thicker).
  • Arrange the apple slices in a single layer on the baking sheets. Remove any seeds.
  • Use a pastry brush to lightly brush on the flavoured oil. Lightly sprinkle over some salt.
  • Bake for 1 hour. Flip and bake for an additional 1- 1 1/2 hours. To determine when the chips are ready, remove one from the oven and let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes. If it becomes crispy, they are ready. If not, continue baking in 15-minutes increments. The total cooking time and the final colour of the apple chips will be dependent on the moisture level of the apples you choose.
  • Once done, turn off the oven but let the apple chips cool in the oven for an additional 30 minutes to ensure any remaining moisture is cooked out.
  • Remove from the oven. Once fully cooled, store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
