Ingredients
Scale
Apples
- 1 Ambrosia apple (or any other variety), thinly sliced
Seasoning
- Ground cinnamon, to taste
- Brown sugar, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C) to prepare for slow baking of the apple slices.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Wash and Slice Apples: Wash the apple thoroughly, keeping the peel on for extra texture and nutrients. Slice the apple very thinly using a sharp knife or a mandolin slicer for even baking.
- Arrange Slices: Spread the apple slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure they bake evenly and crisp up properly.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the apple slices evenly with ground cinnamon and brown sugar to add warmth and sweetness.
- Bake First Half: Bake the apple slices in the preheated oven for 1.5 hours to start dehydrating and caramelizing them.
- Flip and Bake Again: Carefully flip the apple slices over and bake for another 1.5 hours to crisp both sides evenly and achieve the perfect texture.
Notes
- For best results, use a mandolin slicer for consistent thin slices to ensure even baking.
- Adjust the amount of cinnamon and brown sugar to your taste preference for sweetness and spice level.
- Allow apple chips to cool completely after baking; they will become crispier as they cool.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week to maintain freshness.
- Avoid overlapping slices to ensure they bake evenly and become crispy.
