Wash and dry the apples thoroughly.
Slice each apple into thin wedges, discarding the core and seeds.
In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, ground cinnamon, smoked paprika, and sea salt (if using). Mix well to create the spice blend.
In another small bowl, mix the lime juice and water together.
Using a pastry brush or your fingers, lightly coat each apple slice with the lime juice mixture. This helps the spice blend adhere and prevents the apples from browning.
Sprinkle the prepared spice blend evenly over the apple slices, ensuring they are well-coated. Adjust the amount of spice to your preference for heat.
Arrange the apple slices on a serving plate and enjoy immediately, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour for a refreshingly cool treat.
