Ingredients
 

  • 3 large apples (washed)
  • ½ cup cold water
  • ½ cup lemon juice
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon

(Note: 2x or 3x only changes the ingredient list)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 200°F (95°C) and make sure that the top and bottom racks are in the upper and lower thirds of your oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Make a pre-treatment bath for the apples by filling a bowl halfway full with a 50/50 blend of cold water and lemon juice. Set it to the side.
  • Use a very sharp knife or mandolni to slice the apples horizontally into ⅛-inch thick rounds. Drop the fresh slices into the pre-treatment bath to keep them from browning as you slice the remaining apples.
  • Arrange the apple slices in a single layer on both prepared baking sheets and sprinkle the cinnamon over each slice.
  • Bake at 200°F (95°C) for 1 hour, then switch the positions of the baking sheets (upper baking sheet goes to the bottom, bottom baking sheet goes to the top) and bake for an additional 1 to 1 ½ hours.
  • Remove from the oven and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour where they will go from somewhat flexible to crisp, then your apple chips are ready to eat. *If they are not crispy enough after 1 hour, return them to the oven and bake longer.

Notes

  • The nutrition information is for 1 cup of baked cinnamon apples.
  • I do not core my apples to make apple chips, but if you would prefer to you definitely can!
  • If your oven doesn't go down to 200°F (95°C), set it as low as it will go and leave a slight gap in the oven door to reduce the temperature and quicken the drying time.
  • For the crispiest apple chips, it's important you slice them very thin. Any thicker than ⅛ inch will not get crispy (though they still taste good)!
  • The total bake time will vary slightly depending on how high the water content of your apples is.
  • To store: Baked cinnamon apple chips can be kept at room temperature in an airtight container for 1 week.
