Ingredients

  • 2 apple large (Fuji or Honeycrisp)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon ground
  • 1 pinch nutmeg ground

Equipment

  • Mandoline or sharp knife
  • Large baking sheet

Instructions

  • Set your oven to 200°F (95°C).
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the apples crosswise into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. Remove any seeds.
    2 apple
  • Arrange the apple slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle evenly with ground cinnamon and nutmeg.
    1 tsp cinnamon, 1 pinch nutmeg
  • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 1 hour, then flip the apple slices to ensure even drying. Continue baking for an additional 1 to 2 hours, checking periodically, until the apple slices are dry and crisp.
  • Once baked, remove the apple chips from the oven and let them cool completely. They will become crisper as they cool. Store in an airtight container to maintain their crunch.

Cooking Tips

  • Uniform Slices: Use a mandoline for evenly thin slices to ensure even baking.
  • Prevent Sticking: Line the baking sheet with parchment paper to avoid sticking and for easy cleanup.
  • Adjust Spice Levels: Add a touch of ground ginger or clove for a flavour twist.
  • Crispness Check: Check the chips periodically in the final hour of baking to avoid over-drying.
  • Cooling is Key: Allow the chips to cool completely before storing to maintain crunchiness.
  • Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week
