Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole apples
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 225°F (107°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. There's no need to peel them as the skin adds to the texture and nutritional value.
Using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer, slice the apples into thin, uniform slices, about 1/8 inch thick. Remove any seeds as you go.
Arrange the apple slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, making sure they don't overlap to ensure even baking.
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon evenly over the apple slices to add a hint of spice.
Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the apple slices are dry and crisp.
To ensure even drying, flip the apple slices halfway through the baking time. The baking duration may vary depending on the thickness of the slices and your oven, so check periodically to prevent burning.
Once crisp, remove the apple chips from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheets. They will continue to crisp up slightly as they cool.
Store the cooled apple chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
