Oven-Baked Apple Chips

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 200°F.
2. 2
   Use a mandoline on the thinnest setting to slice the apples (see note). Remove the seeds as you go.
3. 3
   Toss apple slices with sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon in a medium bowl.
4. 4
   Place apple slices on parchment-lined baking sheets (or silicone-lined baking sheets) in a single layer. It's okay if they slightly overlap, but you want most of them in a single layer.
5. 5
   Bake for 1 hour. Flip the apple slices over and bake for an additional 1/2 to 1 hour. The amount of time needed will depend on the the thickness of the apples. The apples will not be completely crisp until they cool, but you want them to feel mostly dry to the touch.
6. 6
   Once completely cooled, store in an airtight container.

   Notes:
8. 8
   1. You can either core the apples prior to cutting, or leave the core in and remove the seeds as they are sliced. I did not core my apples and it worked great.

   2. If the apple chips begin to get soggy, throw them back in the oven at 200°F for a few minutes until they crisp up again.
