Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 medium apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
- Pinch of ground cloves (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C).
- Wash and dry the apples. Using a mandoline slicer, slice apples into 1/8-inch (3 mm) thin rounds. Remove any seeds with a knife.
- Toss the apple slices in a mixing bowl with 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice to prevent browning.
- In a small bowl, combine 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Add a pinch of nutmeg if desired.
- Lay the apple slices out on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Lightly sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the slices, flipping a few to coat both sides if desired.
- Bake for 1 hour, then carefully flip each slice over using tongs or a spatula.
- Bake for another 1 hour, checking after 50 minutes to avoid burning.
- Remove from oven and let the apple chips cool on a wire rack or baking sheet to crisp up.
- Store completely cooled chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Re-crisp in a 225°F (110°C) oven for 5-10 minutes if needed.
Notes
Use a mandoline slicer for uniform thin slices about 1/8-inch thick to ensure even crisping. Bake low and slow at 225°F to avoid burning. Flip slices halfway through baking. Cool completely before storing to maintain crispiness. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Re-crisp in oven if chips soften.
