They sell apple chips at our local store.

I know they aren't raw but i purchased a bag to see what they tasted like and i couldn't believe it, they tasted like real apples. They sell them in a bag like potato chips but they were real apple chips.
Has anyone ever been able to make "apple chips"?
If so please help me, i couldn't believe how thin and crisp and sweet they were.

HFCS carmelizes really well, makes for a a really sweet crispy crunch:confused:

Use a Mandoline or V Slicer and dehydrate......Last time I did them I used the SUN...........Although mine were not crisp.

Not sure about the apple chips in stores, but I know that those crunchy banana chips are actually fried...could also be so with the apples to make them crunchy. I've made dried apples many times and they never come out crunchy unless they stay in there a long, long. LONG time but I doubt it's the same as the ones in the bag. However, dehydrating and then storing in the fridge oftentimes renders them to end up crunchy! So you can try that.

Sounds like they were either fried or freeze-dried. What are the ingredients?
