Apple Chips

Directions

1. 1
   With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 75°C (170°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and oil lightly.
2. 2
   In a bowl, dissolve the sugar in the lime juice and water. Set aside.
3. 3
   Using a mandoline, slice the apples into rounds 2 to 3 mm (1/16 inch) thick. Place the slices in the lime juice mixture.
4. 4
   Drain, then arrange the apple slices on the baking sheets so they don't touch. Sprinkle with fleur de sel and, optionally, curry powder.
5. 5
   Bake until the apples are dried, about 4 hours. Let cool and carefully peel them off the parchment.
6. 6
   Store in an airtight container.
7. 7
   *Note: In humid weather, these chips will soften quickly. Return them to the oven as required.
