Apple chip

For semiconductor chips designed by Apple Inc., see Apple silicon.

Apple chips are chips or crisps that are prepared using apples. When stale, apple chips become drier and crispier. Contrary to modern belief, apple chips do not become chewier when stale, only harder. Apple chips may be fried, deep fried,[1] vacuum fried,[2] dehydrated[3] or baked.[4] Apple chips may have a dense and crispy texture or may be puffed, yet still crispy.[5] Microwave vacuum-drying may be used to prepare apple chips with a puffy and crispy texture.[6] They may be seasoned with cinnamon and sweetened with confectioners sugar.[7] Apple chips may be consumed as a snack food,[8] and may be accompanied by various dips[9] and other foods. Apple chips are mass-produced in the United States.[10]
