Equipment

  • Sharp knife or mandoline
  • Cutting board
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients
  

  • 2 apples thinly sliced
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp honey optional, skip for babies under 1

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C).

  • Arrange the slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Sprinkle with cinnamon and drizzle with honey if using.

Notes

Storage Tips: Store any leftover baked apple cinnamon chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To keep them crisp, place them in a cool, dry spot away from humidity. If they soften over time, pop them back in a low oven (around 200°F/90°C) for a few minutes to refresh their crunch. Freezing is not recommended as it makes them chewy.
Age Modifications: For younger babies, you can bake a few slices for a shorter time to keep them soft and easier to gum. Older toddlers may enjoy the full crisp version for snack time or on-the-go nibbles.
Allergy-Friendly Substitutions: These apple chips are naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, and egg-free—making them a safe and simple choice for little ones with common food allergies.
Nutrition Boosters: For extra nourishment, try serving the chips with full-fat plain yogurt, a thin spread of sunflower seed butter, or a sprinkle of ground flax or chia seeds after baking. These additions offer healthy fats and fiber for growing toddlers.
Parent-Friendly Tip: Make a double batch—these disappear fast! You can also give them a fun name like “crunchy toddler apple fries” to make snack time more exciting.
