Ingredients
  

2 plain bagels

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 sweet apple, thinly sliced (such as Fuji or Honeycrisp)

1 cup caramel sauce (for dipping)

Optional: 1/4 cup chopped nuts (like pecans or walnuts) for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C), ensuring it is at the right temperature when you're ready to bake.

    Prepare Bagels: Take each plain bagel and slice it into 1/4-inch thick pieces. You should end up with approximately 12-16 bagel chips, depending on the bagel size.

      Make the Cinnamon Sugar Mix: In a small mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly blended.

        Coat the Bagel Chips: In a large mixing bowl, drizzle the melted butter and vanilla extract over the bagel slices. Toss the bagel chips gently to ensure they're thoroughly coated in the buttery mix. Next, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the bagel slices and toss again until every piece is evenly covered.

          Bake the Chips: Place the coated bagel chips in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Be sure to flip the chips halfway through to achieve an even crispiness.

            Prepare Apple Slices: While the bagel chips are baking, thinly slice your chosen apple. You can leave the skin on for added texture and nutritional benefits.

              Serve: Once baked, remove the bagel chips from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Serve the warm bagel chips alongside the freshly sliced apples and a bowl of caramel sauce for dipping. For an extra touch of flavor and crunch, consider sprinkling some chopped nuts over the apple slices!
