Description
Crispy Cinnamon-Infused Apple Slices that are perfect for snacking.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium apples (like Gala or Granny Smith)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by setting your oven to a low temperature of 200°F (95°C). Prepare two baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Carefully core the apples and slice them into thin rounds, aiming for about 1/8 inch in thickness.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the apple slices with lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and brown sugar if desired. Gently toss until each slice is well-coated.
- Lay the apple slices out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they are spaced apart and not overlapping.
- Place the baking sheets in the oven and allow the apple slices to bake for 2 to 3 hours, flipping halfway through.
- Once the apple slices have reached a crisp texture, take them out of the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheets.
- Store the cooled apple chips in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
- For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a hint of nutmeg or allspice.
- Feel free to experiment with various apple types to discover different flavor profiles.
- A sprinkle of cayenne pepper can add an exciting twist to the traditional recipe.
