Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Apples
- 50 g Vanilla protein powder
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 2 tbsp Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°F (95°C).
Wash the apples thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Using a mandolin or a sharp knife, slice the apples thinly, about 1/8 inch thick, making sure to remove any seeds.
In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice and water. Lightly brush each side of the apple slices with this mixture to prevent browning.
In a separate bowl, mix the vanilla protein powder and cinnamon until well combined.
Dust each apple slice with the protein powder mixture, ensuring an even coating on both sides.
Place the apple slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they do not overlap.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 2 hours, flipping the apple slices halfway through the cooking time. Ensure they are crisp and golden brown but not burnt.
Once baked, remove the apple chips from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Store the apple chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
