Crispy Apple Peels (Apple Skins): Easy Zero-Waste Snack
These crispy apple skins (apple peels) turn kitchen scraps into a crunchy, naturally sweet snack – perfect for zero-waste baking and granola toppings.
Ingredients
- Apple peels from about 2 kg / 4.4 lb apples
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 100°C / 212°F.
- Chop the apple peels into equal-sized pieces, about thumbnail-size.
- Spread them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking tray.
- Bake for about 1.5 hours. Every 20 minutes, briefly crack the oven door to let moisture escape.
- After 1 hour, start checking frequently – apple peels brown quickly.
- Once crisp and lightly golden, remove from the oven and let cool completely.
- Store them in an airtight glass or steel jar (not plastic). They’ll stay crunchy for weeks.
