Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C).
Wash and dry the apples thoroughly to remove any dirt or wax.
Using a mandoline slicer or sharp knife, slice the apples into thin rounds approximately 1/8-inch thick. This ensures even baking and a crispy texture.
Remove any seeds from the apple slices.
Arrange the apple slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Avoid overlapping to allow proper air circulation.
Sprinkle the top side of the apple slices evenly with cinnamon. Feel free to adjust the amount according to your taste preference.
Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven. Bake for about 1 hour, then flip each apple slice over to ensure even drying.
Continue baking for an additional 1 hour, checking frequently to avoid burning, until the apple slices become crispy.
Once done, turn off the oven and let the apple chips cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar. This will help them crisp up further.
Store the cooled apple chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy them as a healthy snack!
