Ingredients
  

4 medium-sized apples (any sweet variety, such as Honeycrisp or Fuji)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons granulated sugar (or coconut sugar for a healthier option)

1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)

Cooking spray or parchment paper (for baking)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C). This low temperature ensures that the apples dry out evenly without burning.

    Prepare the Apples: Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, slice the apples thinly (about 1/8 inch thick). You can leave the skin on for added texture and flavor.

      Prevent Browning: In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning. Make sure all slices are coated.

        Make Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and optional salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the spices.

          Arrange on Baking Sheets: Place a baking rack or line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay the apple slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap.

            Sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar: Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the apple slices. Be generous for a more flavorful chip!

              Bake the Chips: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven. Bake for 1.5 to 2 hours. Check the chips every 30 minutes and flip them halfway through the baking time to ensure even crispness.

                Check for Doneness: The apple chips are done when they are dry and crisp. If some slices are thicker, they might take a bit longer to crisp up.

                  Cool and Store: Remove the apple chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for at least 15 minutes. Once fully cooled, they will become even crunchier. Store in an airtight container for up to a week (if they last that long!).
