Apple Chips

Homemade Apple Chips: There’s something about chips. Their crunchy texture and crisp eat-with-your-fingers munchability makes them universally loveable. But they don’t have to come salted and bagged; in fall, when apples are at their peak and most flavorful, try slicing them as thinly as you can and turning them into chips in the oven.

2 large apples (Gala or Idared work well)
2 Tbsp. sugar (or to taste)
1 tsp. cinnamon

Preheat oven to 200˚F.

Thinly slice apples crosswise about 1/8-inch thick with a mandoline or sharp knife. Arrange apple slices in a single layer on two parchment-lined rimmed baking sheets.

In small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Put mixture into a sieve and sprinkle evenly over apple slices.

Bake in the top and bottom third of the oven until apples are dry and crisp, about 2 hours. Remove from oven and let ‘chips’ cool completely before transferring to a sealed container for up to 3 days.

Makes about 2 cups apple chips.

I don’t usually like apples, but I like them cooked. Might try these at some point!
