Some Apple Facts!

Aprilโ€™s Apple Chips does not only make Cool Snacks, but puts out Cool Facts as well.

The Apple Chip Blog is a place online to find posted content on topics such as:

The Chipping Process

Collect

Connect with local businesses, communities, farms, and non-profits in your area. See if there is a problem of excess harvest apple waste, and if so, see if you can arrange to collect some of that. When soliciting from businsees, it may help to partner with a non-profit or church, so donations can be deducted off taxes.

Wash

Rinse off apples. Peel stickers, if needed.

Slice

This works great with a mandoline slicer. Use with a guard for bodily safety.

Brine

Make your own preservative brine for sliced apple pieces. Have brine be vinegar based to prevent spoilage.

Dry

Layer slices into dehydrator sheets. Dehydrators can be very easy to borrow long term from neighbors and friends. Dry at 12 hours at 135F.

Bag

Preserve the fresh crisp on every chip by sealing in a plastic bag.

Sanitation

Keep surfaces clean. Wash hands. Wear gloves when handling ready to eat chips to be bagged.

Heartwarmers Project

The Heartwarmers project is dedicated to providing warmth and comfort during the cold months. We collaborate with local communities to distribute hand-made warmers to those in need.

Join us in making a difference by volunteering or donating materials. Together, we can ensure that everyone stays warm and safe.
