Crispy Apple Chips

Ingredients

• 3 apples
• Optional
• 1 tablespoon white or brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon or pie spice
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice powder

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 200°F. Line baking trays with parchment paper.
2. Slice the apples between 1/16th and 1/8th inch thick (about the thickness of a wheat thin). Slice through the core, and discard any seed fragments.
3. Place the apple slices on the parchment-lined trays. They can be touching side-by-side, but should not overlap.
4. If adding sugar and spices, sprinkle that on top now.
5. Bake for 2-4 hours flipping halfway through. The baking time will depend on your type of oven and how thick the slices are. They are done when they feel dry and leathery. They will still be slightly pliable and bendable at this point, but should not feel wet.
6. Turn the oven off and let the chips crisp up. Note that well-sealed ovens should leave the door open to let moisture escape. Chips should crisp up within 10-30 minutes.
