Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium-sized apples (about 18 ounces / 500 grams), Fuji or Honeycrisp recommended
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar or coconut sugar (optional)
- 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°F (90°C) and position the rack in the middle.
- Wash and core the apples. Using a mandoline slicer, slice apples into 1/8-inch (3 mm) thin rounds. If using a knife, slice as thinly and evenly as possible.
- Place apple slices in a large bowl and drizzle with lemon juice. Toss gently to coat all slices.
- In a small bowl, combine cinnamon and sugar. Sprinkle evenly over the apple slices and toss gently again to coat.
- Lay apple slices in a single layer on parchment-lined baking sheets, ensuring slices do not overlap.
- Bake for about 1 hour, then carefully flip each slice and bake for another 1 hour. Watch edges to avoid burning; apples should be dry and crisp.
- Transfer apple chips to a cooling rack and let cool for 15-20 minutes to crisp up fully.
Notes
Slice apples as thinly and evenly as possible for best crispness. Bake low and slow at 200°F (90°C) to avoid burning. Flip slices halfway through baking. Cool completely on a rack to finish crisping. If chips are soft after baking, return to oven for 10-15 minutes. Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Avoid refrigeration to maintain crispness.
