Hello dear!

Thanks for the positive comments on my previous post! I am very pleased, your words encourage me to try. As one of the readers correctly noted, Sergei’s blog is quite popular, he has a regular audience, and therefore publishing recipes here is a considerable responsibility. I promise that I will try my best to justify the trust of readers :-)

It's mid-August, yesterday there was an apple rescue. There are a lot of apples this year, at least here in the Chernigov region. However, as far as I can remember, there have almost never been any problems with the apple harvest in my native village. In the second half of August, my mother always began preparing apples for the winter: they pressed liters of apple juice, boiled and rolled compotes, jams, jams, dried apple slices on the stove (we call the resulting dried fruit “skrigli”, what about you?).

In general, our family continues to do this even now. The jam and jam from the white filling have already been prepared and rolled up; my husband will go press the juice next weekend. Jams, juices, compotes - all this is very good, but somehow... standard, or something. This is a kind of mandatory program that everyone who prepares apples for the winter performs. What if you go beyond the trivial and make... apple chips?

I admit, somewhere before the beginning of 2000 I didn’t even know such miracles as apple chips. In the village they always simply dried apples on the stove on a huge scale. Each house had whole bags of dried apples, which were subsequently used mainly for making compote. I first tried apple chips probably ten years ago. I noticed it in the store, became interested, bought it, tried it - both I and my sons really liked it. In winter, sitting in front of the TV or computer in the evening, chewing seeds instead of seeds is just the thing.

However, as I remember now, store-bought apple chips were not cheap. Naturally, as someone responsible for the family’s nutrition, I was faced with the question: how to make apple chips at home? Fortunately, the task turned out to be easy. Without using anyone’s recipes (we didn’t even have the Internet at that time, none of my friends and acquaintances had ever cooked anything like that), I decided to try it myself - fortunately there were still heaps of apples, I wouldn’t mind spoiling them. But I didn’t spoil anything: the apple chips I made myself turned out no worse than store-bought ones.

My joy knew no bounds: another great recipe for homemade apples in my pocket. Since then I make apple chips every year. I try to cook as much as possible, but the chips still don’t survive until winter - the children sweep them up in no time.

Interesting? Then I’ll tell you how to make apple chips at home. However, there is absolutely nothing complicated or tricky there.

Making apple chips at home

Ingredients

• whole unpeeled apples - 6 pcs. (0.5 kg);
• spices (cinnamon, sugar, lemon juice) - to taste.

How to make apple chips in the oven

The first thing to do is wash the apples. Wash, but under no circumstances peel. The apples, along with the peel and core, must be cut into as thin slices as possible. I used to do this with a knife, the slices turned out very thick. Now I use a special grater for vegetables and fruits - the slices come out very thin. The thinner the better.

Set the oven to preheat to 110 degrees. By the way, I’ve never tried making apple chips on a regular country stove - I think it will turn out just as good. So, set the oven to warm up, cover the baking sheet with non-stick baking paper (otherwise the apples will dry out on the baking sheet), carefully lay out the apple slices. You need to lay each slice separately, not overlapping. This is the only difficulty: if the oven is small, then you won’t be able to make a lot of chips at once. That’s why I plan to try my recipe in a rustic oven this year.

We bake our apple chips for about 2 hours at a temperature of 110 degrees. Turn the chips over halfway through baking. In general, the exact baking time depends on the thickness of the slices. I cut it using a special grater, the slices come out very thin, and therefore the chips reach the perfect condition in literally 1 hour. However, if you cut with a knife, the slices will be thicker and will take longer to bake.

Before finishing baking, you can optionally sprinkle the apple chips with spices - for example, cinnamon or sugar.

Actually, that's all - the apple chips are ready. I think that they can be stored for a long time, but I don’t know for sure - we never kept them for more than a month or two, no matter how much you cook them :)

I hope you enjoy my simple apple chips recipe. Anyone who has the opportunity to cook them not in a home oven, but in a real oven, be sure to try it, because then you can really cook a lot of chips. If you cook at home, it’s still not cheap: getting apples is not a problem, but heating an electric oven all day is not a cheap pleasure. By the way, there are special devices for drying vegetables, fruits and mushrooms - perhaps you can also make chips with their help, but I haven’t tried it.

Apple chips are a great snack replacement. They are healthy, tasty, low-calorie. We will find out how to prepare apple chips in the article.

Fruit chips are an excellent snack that will not only not affect your figure, but will also quickly satisfy your hunger.

The following apple varieties are suitable:

• "Pink Lady"
• "Gala";
• "Champion";

Let the cooked snacks sit for a while and they will become firmer and crispier.
