Step 1

Preheat the oven to 225 Fahrenheit.

Step 2

Wash the apples, then slice them very thin, about 1/8”. We recommend using a mandoline to slice. Leave the cores in the apples, but remove any seeds as you cut.

Step 3

Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Lay the apple slices on the tray in a single layer, as close as possible without touching. Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired.

Step 4

Bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until curled and lightly browned. The chips will crisp after cooling for several minutes. (To test whether it is done, pull out an apple chip and set it on the counter for a few minutes until cool, then taste whether it is crisp.) Store the apple chips in a sealed container or mason jar at room temperature for about 1 week.
