Crispy Apple Peels (Chips) – Your Healthy, Zero-Waste Snack & Granola Topping
Apple peel chips are not only a delicious, crunchy, and healthy snack, but also a perfect addition to your breakfast granola bowl.
Ingredients
- Apple peels from about 2 kg/4.4 lb of apples
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 100°C / 212°F.
- Chop the peels into equal-sized pieces—aim for thumb-nail size.
- Spread the pieces out in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking tray.
- Bake for about 1.5 hours. Crack the oven door open every 20 minutes or so to let the moisture escape.After 1 hour, start checking frequently—they go from “slightly golden” to “oops, burnt” very fast.
- Once they’re crisp and just barely browned, take them out and let them cool completely.
- Store in an airtight jar (like an old jam jar). They’ll stay crispy for weeks—if they last that long.
