    This healthy apple cinnamon trail mix is a fun mix of baked apples, nuts and seeds with a hint of spice. Perfect for a healthy snack, it is very easy to make and full of goodness!

    Snacks are always fun to make, filling the kitchen with the scent of baking. My cardamom oat cookies and honey spelt cookies are both so flavourful. And don't forget my maple syrup popcorn for movie night!

    This vegan apple cinnamon trail mix is both tasty and healthy, and contains all whole foods. A little time in the oven for the baked apple rings and then it's just a matter of combining the ingredients for your treat.

    ⭐ Why you'll love this recipe

    • Whole foods - this healthy trail mix is a combination of apple, nuts and seeds and a touch of spice.
    • Cookie alternative - now, I love a cookie, but it's always nice to have a change.
    • Easy to make - the only 'hands on time is preparing the apples, then you simply combine the ingredients.

    🍎 Ingredients

    labelled apples, brazil nuts, sesame seeds, pistachio nuts, desiccated coconut and pumpkin seeds

    Make sure to see the recipe card below for the full ingredients and instructions!

    This apple cinnamon trail mix is a mix of pantry staples and the fresh apples. You will need:

    • Apples - I like to use red apples, but either will work well.
    • Cardamom - just a pinch or two to add some flavour to the apples.
    • Cinnamon - also to flavour the apples (and smells so good!)
    • Brazil nuts, pistachios, pumpkin seeds and sesame seeds - you may like to change up the quantities of the nuts and seeds to a preferred ratio.
    • Coconut - you can use either flaked coconut for more of a 'bite' or desiccated coconut.

    📖 Variations to the recipe

    You can easily use other nuts or seeds for those you prefer, or have in the pantry.

    Cinnamon is optional for my low histamine readers, who may prefer to stick with just cardamom.

    ⏲️ Equipment needed

    Apple corer - much easier than trying to do by hand!

    Baking tray and parchment paper

    🔪 Step by step instructions

    Just a few steps to make this apple cinnamon trail mix, and all are easy to do:

    apples next to an apple corer.
    apple rings on a baking tray.

    Step 1

    De-core the apples and slice thinly. Place on a lined baking tray and sprinkle with the spices. Bake for around 45 minutes or until they have dried and gone a little wrinkly. They should be crisp on the edges but still soft in the middle. Set aside to cool on a wire rack.

    Step 2

    Combine the other ingredients in a bowl. Slice the apple rings into halves or quarters depending upon the size of the apples. Then add into the trail mix.

    💭 Recipes tips and notes

    • Slice the apples as thinly as you can. If the slices are wider they will take longer to bake.
    • Adjust the amount of spice to taste preference.
    • Swap the nuts and seeds in and out for those you prefer!

    📋 Frequently asked questions

    Which apples work best for trail mix?

    I like to use red apples for trail mix as they have the best sweetness.

    Can I change up the nuts and seeds?

    Of course! Use your favorite nuts and seeds, and leave out those you aren't too keen on.

    I can't use cinnamon, can I just use cardamom?

    Yes, using only cardamom is good! I wouldn't add too much more as it has quite the kick of spice!

    Equipment

    • Parchment paper
    • Apple corer
    • Sharp knife

    Ingredients
      

    • 2 small apples cored and sliced thinly
    • ½ cup pumpkin seeds
    • ½ cup pistachios non-salted
    • ¼ cup coconut shredded, or desiccated
    • ⅛ cup sesame seeds
    • ¼ cup brazil nuts
    • ¼ teaspoon cardamom
    • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon optional

    Instructions
     

    • Pre-heat the oven to 150C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
    • De-core the apples and slice thinly. Place on a lined baking tray and sprinkle with the spices. Bake for around 45 minutes or until they have dried and gone a little wrinkly. They should be crisp on the edges but still soft in the middle. Set aside to cool on a wire rack.
    • Combine the apples (cutting into halves or quarters if you wish) with the other ingredients and transfer to your serving bowl.

    Notes

    • Don't cut the apple slices too thinly or they will burn! But not too thick either as they will be very 'pulpy', if that makes sense!
    • Low histamine readers may wish to use only cardamom or no spice at all.
    • Please note that nutritional information is offered as a courtesy. It is auto-generated and should be understood to be an estimate.

    Hi, I’m Claire. After a diagnosis of MCAS I began to follow a low histamine diet, which has helped me manage my symptoms. Here I hope to show that a restrictive diet can still be full of flavourful meals, and help you enjoy being creative in the kitchen.
