Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large apples (Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala recommended)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 225°F (107°C).
- Wash and dry the apples.
- Core the apples. You can use an apple corer or carefully slice around the core.
- Slice the apples as thinly as possible. A mandoline slicer is ideal for uniform slices, but a sharp knife works too. Aim for slices about 1/16 to 1/8 inch thick.
- Arrange the apple slices in a single layer on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Do not overlap them.
- In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and nutmeg (if using). Sprinkle evenly over the apple slices.
- Bake for 2-3 hours, flipping the slices halfway through. They should be slightly crisp and dry, but not browned.
- Turn off the oven and leave the apple chips inside with the door slightly ajar for another hour to ensure they are fully dried and crisp.
- Let the apple chips cool completely on the baking sheets before serving.
Notes
- For crispier chips, bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until they reach your desired crispness.
- Store cooled apple chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- Feel free to experiment with other spices like cardamom or ginger.
