Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large apples (Fuji, Gala, or Honeycrisp recommended)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°F (95°C).
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Wash and core the apples. You can leave the skin on for extra nutrients and texture.
- Slice the apples thinly, about 1/16 inch thick. A mandoline slicer works best for uniform slices, but a sharp knife will do.
- Arrange the apple slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon, if desired.
- Bake for 2 to 3 hours, or until the slices are dry and slightly crispy. Turn them over halfway through the baking time.
- Turn off the oven and let the apple chips cool completely in the oven with the door slightly ajar. This helps them crisp up further.
- Store the apple chips in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
- Ensure your oven temperature is low to prevent burning.
- Thin slices will bake faster and become crispier.
- You can experiment with other spices like nutmeg or cardamom.
