These homemade Pumpkin Pie Apple Crisps are an easy, healthy, vegan, gluten-free way to eat a sweet fall-inspired treat from the dehydrator!
Our new favorite snack! Have I talked about how amazing our dehydrator is? Between the kale chips, beef jerky, and even the sun-dried tomatoes, this is by far our favorite kitchen gadget. But now, now we have our new fall snack. Pumpkin Pie Apple Crisps!
Ingredients Needed
- Apples - Honeycrisp are our favorites for these chips. Any apples that are on the sweeter side, we find that they make the best apple chips!
- Lemon Juice - Just a touch!
- Pumpkin Pie Spice - We now have our own, Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice that we've created to replace the store-bought spice blend!
So with my mandoline, I just sliced the apples about a 1/6 of an inch thick into a bowl. Then I squeezed half a lemon over the slices and sprinkled about a tablespoon of the pumpkin pie spice.
Then I mixed them well(ish) and lined in the dehydrator for them to dry overnight. The next day, we had these lovely, crisp, sweet, pumpkin pie-flavored apple crisps!
Seriously, the best fall snack eveerrr. They're super healthy, gluten-free, and vegan! We are officially obsessed with them; I have another 4 apples in the dehydrator now!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 honey crisp apples
- Fresh lemon juice from half a lemon
- 1 tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
- Add lemon juice to apples and mix, then sprinkle pumpkin pie spice slowly over the apples while continuing to mix so spice is evenly distributed.
- In dehydrator, line apples on racks and dry over night (8-10 hours) at 135°. When they first come out, they wont be super crispy, but they will in time, at least an hour. Place crisps in ziplock or tupperware to store.
- Apples can also be baked on baking sheets. Pre-heat oven to 225° and bake for 45 min to an hour.
