Ingredients
- 2 large firm apples (such as Granny Smith or Gala)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°F (95°C). This low temperature will help the apple slices dehydrate slowly while staying crispy.
Step 2
Wash the apples thoroughly. If you prefer, you can peel them, but leaving the skin on adds extra fiber and nutrients.
Step 3
Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the apples into 1/8-inch thin rounds. It is important to slice them as evenly as possible to ensure consistent baking.
Step 4
Remove any seeds from the slices and discard them.
Step 5
Lay the apple slices in a single layer on two baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Ensure that none of the slices are overlapping.
Step 6
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon evenly over the apple slices. Adjust the amount of cinnamon according to your taste preferences.
Step 7
Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven. Bake for about 1 hour, then flip each apple slice using tongs or a spatula.
Step 8
Continue baking for an additional 30 to 60 minutes, or until the apple slices are dry and crisp. Keep a close eye on them to avoid burning, as the edges can brown quickly towards the end of the cooking time.
Step 9
Remove the apple chips from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheets. They will become crispier as they cool.
Step 10
Once cooled, store the apple chips in an airtight container at room temperature to retain their crunch.
