I got a recipe from my daughter’s school for apple chips.  They were so simple, I decided to try them.  Oh my goodness were they easy and delicious!  They take a long time to cook because you’re essentially dehydrating the apples.  However, the hands-on time is minimal.

The Final Product!

• 4-6 large apples
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• parchment paper

Preparation

• Preheat the oven to 225 degrees.
• Line a few cookie sheets with parchment paper.
• Wash and dry the apples.  
• Core the apples.  I use this corer from OXO.
• Slice the apples horizontally so they are about 1/8″ thick.
• Spread apples out in a single layer on the cookie sheets.
• In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon.
• Sprinkle the apples with the sugar and cinnamon mixture.
• Bake on the top rack until the apples are dry and crisp, about 2 hours (longer if you sliced your apples too thickly).  Be sure to flip the apples over every hour or so in order to allow the apples to cook evenly.
• Remove the apples from the oven and let the chips cool before serving.
• Store in an air tight container.
