Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large apples (such as Fuji or Honeycrisp)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°F (90°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
Wash and core the apples. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, cut the apples into very thin slices, around 1/8 inch thick. Thinner slices will become crispier.
Step 3
Lay the apple slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they do not overlap.
Step 4
Sprinkle ground cinnamon evenly over the apple slices, using a sifter or your fingers for uniform distribution.
Step 5
Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour.
Step 6
After 1 hour, flip each apple slice to ensure even crispiness. Rotate the baking sheets' positions in the oven for consistent baking.
Step 7
Continue baking for an additional 1 hour, or until the apple slices are crispy and dry. The exact time may vary depending on the thickness of your slices and the specific heat of your oven.
Step 8
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 9
Once cooled, store the crispy apple chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
