These 3-ingredient baked apple chips are your perfect copycat version of the Bare Apple Chips.
If an apple a day keeps the doctor away, then you’re going to be set.
And yeah, I already know that you might have SIBO and you might be avoiding high FODMAP foods.
However, apples were part of my Master List of SIBO Healing Tools.
Number 32: Two stewed apples daily. Here is exactly what my doctor said, “Please eat the equivalent of two stewed apples every day. This can have amazing benefits on gastrointestinal function, inflammation, liver and gallbladder function, etc. To be simple, you can make this with just apples and cinnamon if you want to avoid any extra sugar. Also, I don’t worry about peeling the apples.” The recipe can be found HERE. I have yet to try this one.
So, you do what’s best for you.
And if you absolutely must avoid apples, then just save this recipe HERE for later.
Otherwise, make these for someone and eat just 1-2 chips.
You should be good to go!
But fair warning: It will be suuuuuuuper hard to stop after just 1-2.
Apples
Nothing says fall quite like going apple picking but we all know that the best part of harvesting fresh apples is using them in fall inspired dishes and treats.
Here are some other recipes which include apples that I’ve created over the years:
- How to Make Apple Cider in the Instant Pot
- Apple Cider Latte
- Thanksgiving Pumpkin Apple Soup
- Mini Layered Apple Pie
If you have a few apples to spare after making any of the above, you must give these 3-Ingredient Baked Apple Chips a try.

Simply slice your preferred apple variety and coat with cinnamon and coconut sugar, pop in the oven and you’re set.
That’s right, you need just three things to make these:
- apples
- cinnamon
- coconut sugar
And let’s say you don’t want to add any sugar, then skip the coconut sugar and now all you need are 2 ingredients: apples and cinnamon.
Cinnamon Chips
Unless you hate cinnamon, are allergic to it, or have some other medical condition for why you cannot have it, I do recommend keeping cinnamon in this recipe.
Cinnamon is one of those spices with so many great benefits.
In fact, if you want to use even more cinnamon than what my recipe calls for, go for it!
