My children love eating fruit and I am always looking for interesting ways to include fruit in their diet other than simply allowing them to help themselves out of the fruit bowl. They also love to help out in the kitchen and I believe that it is important that children learn how to cook. One simple snack that we have been making together recently is cinnamon apple crisps.
Not only is this a really simple recipe, but it is also a healthy and delicious snack. I have really enjoyed eating these while I have been trying to lose weight, as they are tasty enough not to feel like a healthy vegan snack.
Here is how to make cinnamon apple crisps.

Ingredients
How to Make Cinnamon Apple Crisps
- Preheat the oven to 110C.
- Decore the apples- see tips’
- Thinly slice the apples so the slices measure approximately 5mm thickness.
- Lie the slices of apples on baking trays.
- Sprinkle over the cinnamon. If you prefer the apples sweeter and you are not concerned about this being a healthy snack, you can also sprinkle over a little sugar.
- Bake in the oven for 45 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and leave to cool before eating.
TIPS
- The easiest way to core an apple is to use an apple corer. However, if you do not have one of these, it is not the only option. You can carefully remove the core with a sharp knife. If you are not confident about your knife skills, then you can slice the apples first and then cut the core section out of the individual slices.
- Alternatives to cinnamon include nutmeg or five-spice. These both add an extra layer of flavour to the basic apple crisps.
This will be a great snack in the fall. Following you for more great recipes 🙂 I recently made these lovely fruit cups that are ideal for summer. You can check them out here

Looks yummy
I’m fortunate to live near several orchards. They’re all a half hour drive each way, so I often end up buying too much (thinking to save myself a trip). What a great way to use up the apples that have gone just soft enough to be not as fun to eat out of hand!
I would love to have a house with its own orchard. Unlike you, there are no orchards near me so I have to make do with apples from the greengrocers
Interesting recipe I will keep this in mind for the fall/winter to try out.
