Ingredients
Scale
Apples
- 4 Macintosh apples, cored and sliced 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick
Seasoning
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar (optional)
Other
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for the slow baking process that will dehydrate the apples gently.
- Prepare Apples: In a large bowl, add the sliced apples and sprinkle with ground cinnamon and optional sugar. Toss gently to coat the slices evenly with the spices.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper. Lay the apple slices flat in a single layer without overlapping. Use two pans if necessary to avoid crowding.
- Bake the Chips: Bake the apple slices for 2 to 3 hours, or until the chips are dry but still slightly soft to the touch, ensuring they don’t become too brittle.
- Cool and Store: Let the apple chips cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, store them in an airtight container for up to 4 days to maintain their freshness and crispness.
Notes
- Use thin, uniform slices to ensure even drying.
- Adjust sugar quantity or omit for healthier, less sweet chips.
- Keep an eye on the chips toward the end of baking to avoid burning.
- The chips will crisp up more as they cool.
- Store in airtight containers to prevent them from turning soggy.
