Finally. A crunchy snack that won’t give you cancer. Or whatever they’re saying about potato chips these days.

There comes a point in winter, sometime between new year’s resolutions and spring thaw, where you just want to eat a freakin’ potato chip. Or a whole bag. Or so they say. Nothing against all those fruits and veggies but there’s something so damn satisfying about the crunch of a thin, crispy wafer of carbs.

It’s undeniable.

You can decide to wreck your resolutions for the *cough*thirtieth*cough* time OR you can drag yourself from the couch and into the kitchen and make up these healthy {yeah, I said it} cinnamon apple chips. You could alternately make up these homemade potato chips, too. It’s totally up to you.

I’m not going to lie you can’t eat healthy, like, all the time so sometimes you just need the potato. But a baked wafer of possible cancer {seriously, where did I read that??} made at home in your oven can’t be that bad right?

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Annnnnyway.

I’d tried making these a few years ago but I didn’t have a mandolin slicer and each slice was a completely different size from the one before it.  This is a no go for potato chips. Lays don’t come in different thicknesses, ya know? Do yourself a favor and either go to culinary school to learn how to slice things perfectly. Arguably the more expensive option. Or buy a mandolin slicer.

I definitely recommend the mandolin slicer just for time and money’s sake but the choice is totally yours of course.

Perfectly thin. Completely uniform. Amazingly crispy. I’m so in love. With the mandolin slicer and these apple chips. Because now I need an apple tree in the backyard so I can make these over and over and over again!

The beauty of these babies is they are naturally sweet.  I mean you’re sprinkling an entire humongous apple with just a little cinnamon.  You need nothing else and they will totally satisfy your sweet tooth.  Plus, I’m pretty sure I’ve never read that apple chips will give you cancer. Amazing, right?
