Apple Chips

I made these using the sun 🌞 We’re having a horrible heat wave and I don’t want to turn on the oven at all. I cut the apple with my mandolin, put them on some wire racks covered with cheesecloth, set them in the sun for about 4-6 hours and they turned out perfectly. My boys ate almost the whole first batch and I’m planning on making more tomorrow. Thanks PUL team for another great recipe!

Thank you for sharing your creative method, Nour! We're so glad to hear the sun-dried apple chips were a hit with your boys. Enjoy making more batches, and stay cool during the heat wave! ☀️

We make them in a dehydrator without the cinnamon. The whole family loves them. Sometimes we accidentally buy apples that feel mushy/gritty (don't know the right word in English) and drying saves them.

A lovely idea to dry apples that are a little mushy! Thanks for sharing your experience with apple chips, Femke 🤗

Hi PUL-team!
I’m not sure what went wrong. I just tried to make these (they look so easy and yum!) and after 40 minutes I had to take them out because the room suddenly smelt like something was burning, and it turned out they were. Most of them are burnt, only some have okay-ish spots, but not really crispy yet.
I checked the temperature and it was 160 C as it should. I don’t own a mandolin, so the pieces may have been a bit thicker and not as evenly cut (hence the okay-ish spots), but I reckon that should’ve helped me in this situation 🤣 But maybe that’s it, or I sprinkled too much cinnamon on top (I didn’t measure)? Do you have any clue of what it might’ve been?
Thanks in advance, and I just want to say it’s the first recipe ever that didn’t turn out like it should, and I’ve tried a lot!!
Love from a fellow Dutchie!

Hi Regina, our sincerest apologies about that, the temperature was meant to be at 120C. That was a typo on our part. We've also noted to check on the chips sooner as cooking times can vary depending on how thick the apples were cut. Thanks so much for taking the time to share your experience, and again, our sincerest apologies for the oversight.
