Cumin Apple ChipsMiki Duisterhof

These crunchy, sweet-tart chips are addictive — you'll definitely want to make them as a snack. The preparation is particularly easy with a nonstick baking pad. If you decide to use parchment paper instead, be prepared for some chips to stick to it. When they do, return them to the oven for 3 minutes to soften.

Active time: 10 min Start to finish: 2 hr

Cooks' note:

Apple chips keep in an airtight container at room temperature 1 week.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 20 chips

Ingredients

3 tablespoons confectioners sugar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 medium Granny Smith apple

Special equipment:

a nonstick baking pad such as Silpat* or parchment paper
a wide (3 3/4-inch) mandoline or other manual slicer

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 200°F and line a large baking sheet with baking pad or parchment.

    Step 2

    Sift together confectioners sugar and cumin twice to evenly incorporate. Sift half of cumin sugar evenly onto baking sheet.

    Step 3

    Cut apple crosswise into very thin round slices (about 1/16 inch thick) with slicer. Arrange 20 of largest slices nearly touching each other on baking sheet, then evenly sift remaining cumin sugar over apples. (Reserve remaining apple slices for another use.)

    Step 4

    Bake slices in middle of oven until pale golden and beginning to crisp, about 1 1/2 hours. Immediately peel chips off pad and cool on a rack.

  2. Step 5
