Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces large apples
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. Using a mandoline slicer or sharp knife, slice the apples very thinly, around 1/8 inch thick, to ensure they crisp up evenly.
Remove any seeds from the apple slices. It's okay to leave the apple core intact as it adds a unique shape to the chips.
Arrange the apple slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Make sure the slices do not overlap to allow even drying.
Sprinkle the cinnamon evenly over the apple slices. Feel free to add more or less, according to your taste preference.
Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour. After the first hour, flip each apple slice to ensure even crisping.
Continue baking for an additional 30 to 60 minutes, checking the apple slices every 15 minutes. The chips should be completely dry and crispy but not burnt.
Once done, remove the apple chips from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheets. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Store the cooled apple chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, if they last that long without being devoured!
