Baked Cinnamon-Sugar Pear Chips
Apple chips are a favorite snack of mine so I figured I would love other fruits made into baked chips. I decided to try making some baked cinnamon-sugar pear chips since I had a few pears on the kitchen counter that none of us were eating. I used my mandolin to cut them nice and thin then I made sprinkled the tops with a cinnamon-sugar mixture and baked them at a low temperature until they were dried and crisp. These baked pear chips are amazing! I loved the little bit of sweetness/spice and the nice crisp crunch. We all thought these chips were delicious and enjoyed them before dinner where the bowlful disappeared quickly.
How to Make Baked Cinnamon-Sugar Pear Chips
Preheat the oven to 225 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Combine the sugar and cinnamon together; mix well.
Using a mandoline, cut the pears very thinly.
Remove any seeds from any of the slices. Place the pear slices on the baking sheet(s), making sure not to overlap them. Sprinkle the top with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Place into the oven to bake for 2½ – 3 hours, or until dried and crisp (they will get crisper when cooling). Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack. Enjoy!

A perfectly healthy and delicious snack!
What a great snack. A must try.
i love apple chips too but i’ve never tried the method with pears. brilliant!
Remy is obsessed with dehydrated fruit lately (we call them cookies lol) so I’m going to have to try these out as a healthy snack for her!
How long do they last, do I just put them in a bag, and leave them on the counter.
Mary,
My kids devour them in one sitting so I’ve never tried storing them. I would assume they would do best stored in an airtight container.
