Ingredients
- 3 medium Apples
- 50 g Vanilla protein powder
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 2 tbsp Water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°F (95°C).
Step 2
Wash the apples thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 3
Using a mandolin or a sharp knife, slice the apples thinly, about 1/8 inch thick, making sure to remove any seeds.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice and water. Lightly brush each side of the apple slices with this mixture to prevent browning.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, mix the vanilla protein powder and cinnamon until well combined.
Step 6
Dust each apple slice with the protein powder mixture, ensuring an even coating on both sides.
Step 7
Place the apple slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they do not overlap.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
Store the apple chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
