Chips are potatoes. And despite the fact that chips are prepared with other ingredients, potato chips are the most popular.

Before moving on to the recipes, you need to prepare the raw materials. Potatoes must be of certain varieties:

• Lady Rosetta

• Pirol
• Verdi

Also, to prepare chips, you need to cut them correctly.
A knife will not work in this case, since even the most experienced cook will not be able to cut the potatoes into thin slices of equal thickness.
This will require shredder or grater. An attachment for shredding cabbage or a special attachment for potato chips.

Dmitriy: With the advent of children, our lives changed completely. Alcohol left our house forever, and we already watched football with lemonade. But we couldn’t get out of the habit of chips. Until my eldest tried the store-bought version and we ended up in the hospital with a terrible rash.

While my wife was at the doctor’s appointment, I was already surfing the Internet and realized either healthy children or my favorite taste of food. But family friends told us a way out - homemade chips. Fruit ones were especially recommended for children. I've never heard of these. But the Internet will tell you everything. Now we are masters in preparing all kinds of chips, and we gather friends to taste new and new flavors!

Galina: I'm a fast food fan. Until not long ago. Until I heard a joke about a balloon from my friends. Now I’m on a diet, but having gathered with “well-wishers” I also want crackers, chips and much more. Social networks and a recipe for apple chips saved me. It turns out that you can eat them as much as you like and lose weight! Now I'm a fan of healthy fast food.

Oh, those snacks! Always a problem with them! Salty potato chips and crackers are harmful. Cookies and candy are high in calories. Dried fruits and nuts are good, but not just any kind, and you get tired of the best ones.

If you are tired of unhealthy high-calorie snacks, I suggest making a dietary snack – apple chips. This snack is low in calories, it does not contain harmful additives, preservatives or dyes. But most of the beneficial substances contained in apples are preserved. In stores, of course, they sell thin slices of dried apples, but homemade ones are much tastier. This I responsibly affirm.

Cooking time: 20 minutes plus 1.5-2 hours for drying

Ingredients

• 5 small apples with dense pulp (for example, Gala variety)
• 80 grams of sugar
• 1 glass of water
• 0.25 teaspoons of citric acid.

Preparation

We collect everything you need.



First, let's prepare the syrup. For it we need sugar and citric acid - adding it will prevent the apples from darkening and will enhance the natural sourness of the fruit.



Pour a glass of water into the sugar.



Place on the fire and bring to a boil. There is no need to boil the syrup - just enough for the sugar to dissolve.



Remove the syrup from the heat to cool slightly.

Wash the apples thoroughly and cut into thin slices (1-1.5 mm). This can be done either with a knife or on a grater, which is used to shred cabbage for pickling. Using a core remover, we cut out the seed pod, although this is not the only way to get rid of the seeds. If we simply cut the apples, they will fall out, and the box “by itself” will take on a beautiful pattern in the center of the circle in the form of an asterisk.



Place the apple slices in the syrup and let them steep for 10-15 minutes. During this time, the apples will absorb the syrup a little. If not all the apples fit into the syrup, it’s okay - we’ll infuse it in parts.



After the apples have steeped, they must be rid of excess syrup. To do this, place the slices on a paper towel and let them dry a little.



Place the dried apple slices on a baking sheet or wire rack lined with parchment paper.



Place the baking sheet on a medium level and set the apple chips to dry for 1.5-2 hours in a preheated oven at a temperature of 60-80 degrees.



The finished chip slices become slightly wavy and tortuous.



Apple chips are best stored wrapped in paper, placed in a cloth bag or glass jar. And you can have this snack at any time of the day!

Happy chip-crunching!

Hello my dear sweet tooths. I have a surprise for you. I suggest you prepare an amazingly tasty and incredibly healthy delicacy. These are apple crisps in the oven. They are sweet, crunchy and very flavorful. These chips literally melt in your mouth, fueling the desire to take 1 more... or 5... or 10... Finally, the plate is empty. Oh, how delicious it was. But they quickly “evaporated” 🙂 But what I’m praising everything about – you prepare it yourself. Read the recipe with photos below.

What are the benefits of apple chips?

It turns out that this product has a rich chemical composition. There is:

• fructose;
• organic acids;
• vitamins C, , , and others;
• iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus and sodium, etc.

Due to the presence of pectin, the treat can have a beneficial effect on intestinal function. In addition, it provides an antimicrobial and cleansing effect (removes toxins and other “garbage”).

Potassium and iron present in apple chips are involved in metabolic processes. They are also responsible for the growth and full development of the body. Therefore, this delicacy (unlike other sweets) is very useful for children.

The ascorbic acid present here helps improve the functioning of the cardiovascular system. In addition, this vitamin strengthens the body's immune system.

But although apple chips are very healthy, such dried fruits are not particularly suitable for a diet. That is, you can afford a few pieces as a snack. But I don’t recommend replacing fresh apples with chips when losing weight. The thing is that this delicacy has a considerable calorie content - 253 kcal per 100 g. It contains 59 g of carbohydrates, 2.2 g of proteins and 0.1 g of fat. For comparison: the energy value of fresh apples is 52 kcal.

Features of preparing apple chips

This delicacy is very easy and quick to prepare. Especially if you have a convenient vegetable cutter. You can, of course, cut it with a knife, but it will take a little longer. The thinner the slices, the faster they will crisp.

The ones I made were very thin and fragile. They are great as a decoration for desserts. If you want to make them as a snack for work, make the slices a little thicker. This way they won't break when carried.

Any apple can be used for this recipe. If too sour, add a little more sugar, and if too sweet, sprinkle with lemon juice. There is no need to remove the core.

Use sugar or cinnamon to suit your taste. I saw a recipe that added a pinch of nutmeg. I haven't tried this version yet. If you cook, write in the comments to the article how it turned out for you.

Once the oven temperature is set to the right temperature, you can forget about the slices for a while. But this is only until the air is filled with the aromas of cinnamon and apples. I used to dry apples at a very high temperature of -175°C. We had to constantly monitor them to protect them from burning.

But now I cook at a temperature of 100°C. And I want to tell you that the problem of delicacy burning has been solved. The slices remain light, crunchy and have a subtle sweetish taste.

The only thing you need to do as soon as you take them out of the oven is remove them from the parchment paper. Otherwise, the chips will stick, and when you start to tear them off the parchment, you will break them.

How to properly store apple chips

If you are preparing them for future use, make sure they are stored properly. By the way, such a delicacy (provided that it is without sugar and other additives) can be stored for a long time.

To do this, place the cooled chips in a fabric bag. Or place in a container with good ventilation. But I don’t recommend placing this delicacy in a tightly closed container. The chips will get moldy there.

Preheat the oven to 110 degrees. Place the circles on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and into the roasting pan.
