Ingredients

  • 4 apples (any variety)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C).
  2. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. Wash and dry the apples.
  4. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, slice the apples into very thin rounds, about 1/8-inch thick. Remove the seeds and core.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon and sugar.
  6. Place the apple slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, making sure they do not overlap.
  7. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the apple slices.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
  9. Flip the apple slices over and continue baking for an additional 1-2 hours, or until the chips are crispy and dry. Keep an eye on them towards the end to prevent burning.
  10. Remove from the oven and let the apple chips cool completely on the baking sheets.
  11. Once cooled, transfer the apple chips to an airtight container or enjoy them immediately.
  12. Store the apple chips in a cool, dry place for up to one week.
