Crispy apple chips with cinnamon are a healthy and tasty dessert option suitable for diabetics. They are easy to prepare at home and provide a satisfying crunch without added sugars or unhealthy fats.
Ingredients Needed
- 3 large apples (preferably Granny Smith or Fuji)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Optional: a pinch of nutmeg
Preparation Steps
Preheat the oven to 200°F (93°C). Wash and core the apples. Slice them thinly, about 1/8 inch thick, using a mandoline or sharp knife. In a small bowl, mix cinnamon and nutmeg if using. Toss the apple slices with the cinnamon mixture to evenly coat.
Arrange the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 1.5 to 2 hours, flipping the slices halfway through, until they are crispy. Allow to cool before serving.
Health Benefits
These apple chips are low in calories and carbohydrates, making them suitable for a diabetic diet. The cinnamon adds flavor without sugar and may help improve blood sugar levels. They also provide dietary fiber, which supports digestion and helps maintain stable blood glucose levels.
