Ingredients
- 2 apples (Choose your favorite variety; sweeter apples give a delicious flavor.)
- Cinnamon (A classic spice that enhances the natural sweetness of the apples, amount to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 200ºF (93ºC) to prepare for slow baking the apple slices.
- Slice the Apples: Thinly slice the apples to about 1/8 inch thickness, carefully removing any seeds to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Season with Cinnamon: Generously sprinkle cinnamon over the apple slices, coating them evenly to enhance the natural sweetness and add warmth.
- Bake the Apple Chips: Arrange the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 1 hour, then flip each slice over to bake for another hour, ensuring both sides crisp up evenly.
- Cool Completely: Remove the baked apple chips from the oven and cool them on a wire rack to maintain their crisp texture before serving or storing.
Notes
- Use a mandoline slicer for uniformly thin apple slices which ensure even baking.
- Choose sweeter apple varieties like Fuji or Honeycrisp for a naturally sweeter snack.
- Store cooled apple chips in an airtight container to keep them crispy for up to a week.
- You can adjust the cinnamon amount based on your taste preference.
- If you want a sweeter chip, consider lightly spraying apple slices with lemon juice or a touch of honey before baking.
