Apple Cinnamon Chex Mix has an apple cider and butter base for a sweet cereal snack mix tossed with yogurt covered raisins and dried apple chips.

A pan of apple pie chex mix has yogurt covered raisins mixed in with a wooden spoon next to a green striped towel.

I love having homemade snack mixes on hand for my kids as a special lunch box surprise or after school snack.

They both love my favorite sweet & spicy honey sriracha Chex Mix recipe but I wanted to try something a little different this fall.

Little Pea is currently obsessed with green apples and absolutely loves my dried apple slices recipe.

I had some dried apples left and thought it would be fun to create an entire snack mix around them!

Why This is the Best Recipe

We love apples, we love cinnamon, we love cereal snack mixes, this treat combines all 3!

I think this is the best apple cinnamon Chex Mix recipe because:

Big Flavor: When you start with Cinnamon Chex, you already have oodles of cinnamon flavor. Then go and add apple cider and more apple pie spices? Heaven.
Quick Prep: Just stir the melted butter together with seasonings and apple cider and pour it over the cereal. The rest of the job is just waiting!
Healthy Mix-Ins: Add dried apple slices and yogurt covered raisins, this is a Chex mix you won't mind feeding the kids.

Ingredients

You only need a few easy ingredients to make my homemade apple cinnamon Chex Mix:

Cinnamon Chex Cereal
Butter
Nutmeg
Ginger
Allspice
Cloves
Apple Cider: I recommend the thick apple cider often sold in the produce section, regular apple juice is too thin and not seasoned enough.
Dried Apple Slices: You can buy apple chips at the grocery store but my dried apple slices recipe would work great, too.
Yogurt Covered Raisins

OPTIONAL: My pumpkin spice pecans would be a fun addition to this Chex Mix if you have some leftover.

Baking Instructions

The melted butter and apple cider have been whisked together with apple pie seasonings.

Preheat the oven to 250°F.

Place the cereal in a large bowl and set aside.

Melt the butter in the microwave and add the seasonings, whisk to combine.

Pour in the apple cider and stir.

Pour the butter mixture over the cereal and toss gently to coat.

Pour the cereal into a large ungreased baking pan and bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.

Assemble the Chex Mix

The ingredients are in separate bowls about to be stirred together. The Chex cereal is in a pan, apple chips in a mixing bowl, and yogurt covered raisins in a small package.

Once the cereal has completely cooled, break up the apple chips and stir them into the cereal with the yogurt covered raisins.

I think they mimic the flavors of apple pie a la mode!

The raisins and dried apples add a wonderful crunchy and chewy texture to the snack mix.

Variations

There are several other delicious mix ins you could add to apple cinnamon Chex mix:

mini marshmallows
chopped pecans
cheddar crackers (for a cheddar apple pie twist!)
butterscotch chips

Serving Suggestions

The finished snack mix is in a 9x13-inch metal pan with a spoon.

There are so many great reasons to serve this fun Chex mix to your family.

Why not add a bowl to your Halloween snacks line-up for movie night?

You could enjoy a Fall reading picnic and read fall picture books with your kids while they nibble. This would make a great after school snack idea, too.

Or, queue up one of these 30 movies to watch with tweens and use this in place of popcorn.
