Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Apple peels
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil or melted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Mix well and set aside.
Place the apple peels in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil or melted butter. Toss to coat the peels evenly.
Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the apple peels and toss again until the peels are evenly coated.
Spread the apple peels out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50–60 minutes, flipping the peels halfway through. Bake until the peels are dry, crisp, and lightly golden.
Let the chips cool completely on the baking sheet. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
